Bicycle, bicycle!
Jun. 30th, 2011 08:25 amOn Saturday July 9th I will get up before 5AM to run the morning ledger database loads for my day job at Megacorp and then I'll throw on bike clothes and join my friend Stacey along with thousands of other riders, runners and walkers in the annual Prouty to raise money for cancer treatment and research.
I want to thank everyone who has already donated to support my ride. And if you'd like to make a donation, visit my Prouty webpage here. No amount is too small.
This event is important to me, so much so that I'm finding a way to fit in a trip to New Hampshire to take part, even though this comes at a crazy time for my day job since it's right in the middle of the 2Q close. I think what I appreciate most about the Prouty is the tremendous sense of community-- not only the thousands of people taking part in the event, but all of the volunteers who make it happen, not to mention the people along the route who put up signs supporting the riders and stand in their front yards to cheer us on. Everyone comes together on this day to say that this cause matters to them, and that's a great feeling.
