Thank You!

I wanted to write a special entry tonight to thank those who have made financial contributions to support this ride and this cause. Tonight at meeting, I was honored as the “Star Fundraiser of the Week” and am now the leading overall fundraiser on the 2010 team. I am so touched by everyone’s contributions.

Also, thank you to everyone who reads and follows this blog—and especially those who have sent my blog out to friends and family. This blog started as a way of updating those interested in my journey and as a kind of outlet for me that has also turned into a hobby. But more than anything, I am surprised almost daily at the reach and impact this blog has allowed. I knew the World Wide Web was a powerful tool, but I never imagined anyone other than my immediate family would be reading this page. I have found encouragement in the most unexpected places and this blog allows me to bring all of my followers along for the ride.  

I also want to share with you a tradition of Texas 4000 for Cancer. Before every meeting and before every ride, at least one—often several—dedications are made to friends and family members who have been affected by cancer. We keep those names with us throughout the summer. They are the ones we ride for. If any readers of this blog have any names/stories they would like to share, I will be sure to dedicate my next ride to them. Feel free to leave a comment on this post, or send me an email anytime.

Thank you again for everyone’s support!
