It’s that time of year again. Time to reflect on the last year. Time to start planning what will get accomplished in the year to come. And time to start training hard now in order to enjoy the warmer months!

I’ve decided to join up with Team in Training again this year. I’ll be training for a 100 mile ride through the mountains of Lake Tahoe, but I need your help to do it! I need to raise a minimum of $4,400 for the Leukemia Society. By donating your money, you get a tax deductible donation, and also help an organization to provide support to patients and research a cure. Many strides have been made trying to find a cure for this disease - thanks in no small part to the $1 billion raised by Team in Training - but there is more to be done. That’s where you come in. The easiest way to donate is to donate online by going to my fund-raising web page.

I am riding to help people who are currently battling Leukemia and Lymphoma, like this year’s honored patient for Milwaukee, Aidan. Aidan is 6 years old and has been undergoing treatment for 3 years. I’m also riding in memory of my best friend’s dad, Lewis Challoner, who passed away from Leukemia.

If you want to send a check, you can make it out to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (or LLS) and mail it to me. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me by phone or email. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your donation. Don’t forget to ask if your employer has a matching gift program - that will really help maximize the impact of your donation. Remember, every little bit helps!
