I’ve been a bit preoccupied this spring with my Life Restructuring Process^TM so I’m very late in getting out my fundraising email for this year’s Leukemia & Lymphoma Society event.  Once again, a number of our Phoenix bicycle group are participating in the AMBBR century ride (100 miles) around Lake Tahoe to raise funds to fight blood cancers in honor of our friend Andy Gordon.  This year, Andy is riding, with his one-year-old immune system.  (It’s like a second marriage.  We like this immune system so much better than the last one.)  I have 8 days left to raise $1,800, so I’d appreciate you going to my Team in Training page, at http://pages.teamintraining.org/az/ambbr16/scoppersmi, and giving what you can.

If you want more background, it’ll be worth the time to click on a couple of links.  First, Andy’s LLS video, at https://youtu.be/6cNwN8sGL5c.  They took it down when his cancer came back, but he and the video are back, baby.  Last year’s explanation of the ride and the cause is at http://liberaldesert.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-gordon-invitational-at-lake-tahoe.html; no need to repeat everything here.  And this year, we’re the Gordon Unlimited Invitational at Lake Tahoe, or GUILT.  (Seemed appropriate for our Jewish-Catholic bicycle group.)  What hasn’t changed is our motto: Non semper est rectus, sed nunquam in dubium.  And so should you.

Thanks for your help!

Welcome back to this year's edition of The Gordon Invitational at Lake Tahoe, or GILT 2.0.  (There's a move to rename it as The Gordon Unlimited Invitational at Lake Tahoe, or GUILT, which given the make up of our group, seems appropriate.)  Once again, we'll be raising money as a team (Team Andy, motto Non semper est rectus, sed nunquam in dubium).  Give early and often, through the team page (and not here).  Thanks.
