UPDATED…Pedaling In The 24 Hours of Booty!
The countdown is on! I have until Noon today Friday (JULY 11th) to get donations before I ride the 24 Hours of Booty in Charlotte, NC on July 26th & 27th.
If you haven’t heard of the 24 Hours of Booty before, it is “The Official 24 Hour Cycling Event of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.”
Last year, my Mom and Dad were both diagnosed with cancer. So, I thought what a great way to help out.
I’m riding for my parents, other family, friends and the hundreds of thousands who have faced or will face the fight against cancer.
I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to those of you who have already donated and for those who gave in the last 24 hours to get me closer to my goal. You’ve helped me get to $1,250.00… $1,550.00. I’m now in that final stretch trying to reach my individual fundraising goal of $2,000.00.
If you are interested in learning more and you would like to help out… I would be very grateful if you visit my personal 24 Hours of Booty donation page. You can read a brief description of my parents story and make an easy donation right there on my page by clicking on “Support Donald!”
Unfortunately, we’re hearing about this too much these days… especially many of us being so familiar with the Fat Cyclist and his wife Susan. We must continue this fight by pedaling, pushing for more congressional support, praying and whatever other means we can. Here’s to winning the fight and finding a cure. Thanks so much! Donald
Awesome Donald - Thanks for helping to kick cancer’s butt!
best of luck Donald - and my best to your parents.
And again, Americans know how to name races!
Good luck in your race. I wish I had extra cash to send in but I don’t! You are riding for a great cause.
ARLYN– Thanks Arlyn for your support! RACE HARD.
WILL– Thank you too!!! My parents are still doing well. Last check-ups look good.
JUDI– Thanks so much. I understand… good thoughts are great as well! Ride Strong!
Good luck, Don! I wish I was riding with you, but there is always next year. I opted in for the info email, so we’ll see what happens. I will be riding Livestrong Philly, so doing my part on whatever front I can!
DAN– Thanks so much for your help. It does sound like it’s going to be just as much fun and a celebration as it will be a great fundraiser. It’s just so awesome to see so many great people coming together in the fight against cancer. Have a blast in Livestrong Philly and keep us posted.
Best of luck with the ride. It is such a great cause.
Mallie is doing the ride as well. If you don’t know her you should look her up.
