Last year I started a little tradition of making my ride on the Motogiro d'Italia a little fund raiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF).
I've always liked the LAF and their LIVESTRONG symbol. The LAF is about helping people bravely survive their battles with cancer and I appreciate this given that both of my parents died of cancer in the 1980's. The LAF is about LIVING YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. That's a good thing for us all to remember.
Last year my efforts to raise money for the LAF were modest, but but this year I'm hoping to ask a few more friends to join me with a pledge.
I'd ask that you consider making a donation/pledge "per kilometer" for the distance of the Motogiro, estimated to be 1250km. Here' a simple chart to help with the math:
1 penny per km = $12.50
1 nickel per km = $62.50
1 dime per km = $125.00
1 quarter per km = $312.50
2 quarters per km = $625.00
1 dollar per km = $1250.00
You can donate easily and quickly using the link on the top of my blog!
Thank you for your support!

Carl, I read your post "Cars and Coffee" with some amusement. You mentioned "crisp air." I think that you'd better come back east so that you can remember what "crisp air" is really like!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your post on road signs made me think of something I only recently learned. The stop sign in Canada has the French word "arret" (stop) on it but in France, a stop sign says "stop". Go figure
Have fun and bon voyage
