Century Ride

I recently joined a group called Team in Training. It works with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to raise funds for research to find a cure for blood cancer diseases. I will be training for a 100 mile bicycle race called a "Century Ride" in August. For my part I have committed myself to a personal goal of raising $5,000 for the Society.

I could really use all the support I can get. We start training this week. Part of the reason I am participating in this team is because my life partner's sister died from Leukemia when she was just 5. He is also joining the team, but is still not sure if he wants to broadcast his sister's death. I am trying to be understanding. However, I think she should be remembered and her memory honored by this race. Hopefully he will come around.

If you would like to donate you can do so online at my personal webpage:

Please try to support me. Any words of advice or encouragement are truly needed and appreciated.

I am not a very atheletic person, so this will be a huge challenge for me!
