Feb 06, 2013

Dear Friends and Family:


Thank you so much for linking to my Fundraising Page.


I am excited to attempt to fulfill a long-time dream of biking cross-country. As I thought of this challenge, I wanted to encourage friends and family to support my efforts by making donations to an organization that I have supported in the past, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). The mission of LLS is to help find cures and more effective treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. The Indiana Chapter of LLS is piloting a new program called Team in Training Your Way: “Do what you want, when you want, and raise funds for what we all want – a cure!” A perfect fit for me.


My biggest inspiration for this fundraising comes from my long-time friend Barb. An amazingly active woman in our community, in 2004 she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She had a tremendously rough time during her chemo treatments, suffering a heart attack, liver failure and damage to her retinas that left her legally blind (see article She has worked hard to regain her strength and endurance, she is once again active in the community and this year is serving as President of the Board of Trustees of the local LLS chapter.


And Steve, a college friend, has survived two bouts of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the latest requiring a stem cell transplant. What a pleasure to bike with him this summer in Wisconsin.


Won’t you make a donation in support of my efforts. I have set my initial goal at $3,100, equal to one dollar for each mile I plan to pedal to get from California to Florida. Be a part of TEAM DOLLYBIKE, and help finance the research for cures. I thank you in advance.

I think too many folks just ride to get from point A to point B and don't take in all the sites and wonderful people along the way.I have enjoyed reading your log, good commentary and pictures! Cheers to you, Barb"

Looks like lots of fun, though very tiring. Hoping to do same trip in 2015. Any advice? Thank you for the message you are sending regarding research for the blood cancers. "

I think too many folks just ride to get from point A to point B and don't take in all the sites and wonderful people along the way.I have enjoyed reading your log, good commentary and pictures! Cheers to you, Barb"
