Fundraiser for Cancer

[Bladedog]

Hey Valkers

Long time no see, folks.  How is everyone?  I still have my Valk, I still ride, but don't get on here much anymore! 

I posted a similar link a couple of years ago and I hope it's OK to do it again.   My wife is running a half marathon with Team in Training, the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco, and she is raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I am serving as team captain this season, helping both new and seasoned runners train and fundraise.  LLS funds cancer research and helps with patient services.  Attached is a link where you can make a tax-deductible donation online.  Any donation, large or small, is appreciated.  My wife and I believe strongly in this cause, as we have both lost family, co-workers, and friends to various forms of cancer.  You can rest assured that a full 76% of funds received for this cause goes directly to the charity.  That's a very good ratio.

Whether or not you are able to make a donation, please pass on a word of encouragement on this thread.  We train three to four times a week and it's hard on these old bodies!

Thanks again folks, and ride safe!

Bladedog, lest you see a response less than you'd expect with this group, you need to know that Oss, on behalf of his daughter, posted a similar message for that same cause a while back and several of our members have contributed there.

It's a good cause.

I wish you the best of luck as the cause is a good one

Are you both running, I know you are a team captain and thought they can run also but also have to have a certain amount of donations?

Unfortunately I am tapped out due to my decision to match donations from the VRCC.

They put me in the poorhouse this month.

Thanks to Gig, whose check arrived today.
