"Only as high as I can reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be." Karen Ravn


First it was a full marathon. Then it was an Ironman. What is there left to do? How about an event aptly named Death Ride? Yes you read it correctly.... I am now registered to do an event with the word DEATH in it! It is a test-piece for endurance cyclists: at high elevation, a one-day, 130-mile ride with 15,000 feet of climbing and 5 mountain passes. You start at 4 a.m. and pedal for the next 16 hours in whatever weather the Sierras have to offer: morning frost, searing heat, harrowing winds, hailstorms. You've got interminable steep climbs. Nerve-wracking time limits. Hundreds of speedy riders zip past. Inevitable flat tires. Gnarly, winding, gravelly downhills -- one off-kilter move or improvident pebble and you're plummeting hundreds of feet down into a gulch of trees and boulders. No one will know you're missing until maybe a week later.

When: Saturday July 10, 2010

Why am I doing this? As you know I have been an avid supporter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training since 2007. I am doing this again to bring awareness as well as raise funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. I/we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! Together.. we CAN make a difference.

My goal: To raise $6,000 for such an amazing cause. As I have done in the past... I will stay committed to completing the physical task at hand but I will need YOUR HELP to raise the funds needed. Together we can make a positive impact in the lives of others. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
