I’ve already spammed my friends and relatives. Now, I’ll make an assumption that people I don’t know might stumble upon this post…
I have this thought that it’s possible to make a quiet entry on a page only few people frequent, and that by the simple actions of a few key people passing around a link, a pyramid-scheme like propagation might take place across the Internet. I would love to see a simple goal be quickly dwarfed by the total of donations brought in from people I don’t know, just because they wanted to support a good cause. I know it’s unlikely, but it’s worth a shot.
On Saturday, September 6-7, 2003, I’ll be participating for my first time in the National MS Society’s annual MS 150 Charity Bike Tour to help raise funds for research and local programs.The MS 150 is a two day event in Columbia, Missouri, with a 75 mile or 100 mile loop available Saturday and Sunday. The event is organized to help riders finish the 150 miles in two days. Completing the optional 100 mile route in a single day is referred to as a century. I hope to accomplish my first century on this ride, making my total distance at least 175 miles. If I can maintain the motivation and energy, perhaps I can do up to 200 miles. I have spent the spring and summer building up my endurance and next week is the test.
Will you please help by supporting me in this year’s MS 150 Bike Tour? No amount is too small and any help is greatly appreciated! Please sponsor me by donating securely online through my MS-150 page.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
Ryan
Update!
I’ve met the required goal of $200, but I’d love to see how high that total can go!Generous visiting contributors:
