My Fundraising Page

Feb 14, 2014

Hi, Everyone!

 

Thanks for checking out my fundraising page for Team In Training.  This will be my third time with this wonderful organization, which takes couch potatoes like me and turns us into 100-mile-route-cycling bad-asses -- all for the cause of helping to treat people with blood cancer, and to provide much-needed support for their loved ones.

 

The event that I'll be training for this year has the modest title of "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride."  It will take place in Tahoe on June 1 -- and, by all reports, it _is_ incredibly beautiful.  Between now and then I will be training with TNT's tough-loving coaches and my many teammates.  Our training rides are on Saturdays -- usually starting at some ungodly hour -- and after each one I'll be posting my stats for that ride (distance, speed, heartrate, etc.) and a map of the route, so everyone can follow along with my pain and gain.  You'll be able to find those posts on my blog -- http://joshkornbluth.com/wordpress/ -- along with occasional photos and my hamstrings' pleas to a merciful God.

 

I need to raise a lot of money for this ride -- $2,700 -- and if you could donate any amount towards that total, I'd be incredibly grateful!  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at josh@joshkornbluth.com.

 

Thanks so much!!

 

Take care,

Josh

"Love your kvetching! Keep up the good work! My mom had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma when she was 57 and lived to be 84 so yahoo modern science. After a long bout with chemotherapy she was cancer free the rest of her life."

"Thank you, Josh, for doing this again. I have lost two dear friends to blood cancer: Jamie, a 37-yr-old dynamo who received her leukemia diagnosis on a Wednesday and passed away the next weekend; and Alan, who bravely fought multiple myeloma for years with the help of his fantastic wife Kim, who has since become an advocate for caregivers and cancer patients in the Pacific Northwest. There is so much that isn't understood about blood cancers. Your new "steed" sounds like a worthy one, even without the granny gear. Ride On for the Cure!"

"Josh, thank you for doing this! The LLS does so many good things, including giving money for research, and various kinds of support and info to those who have blood cancers. They do an annual conference in SF for patients, friends and family, which reports on recent info & research. The event is totally free. This year it was attended by over 800 people; it is so helpful that many return each year. They also host a well-run leukemia/lymphoma support group for those living with blood cancers and their loved ones; it meets in Oakland and is free to all. This group is well worth supporting and has helped me personally battle non-Hodgkins lymphoma! Go Josh--enjoy the ride and the scenery!"
