I know this isn't the usual thing you see on this forum, but it is very much cycling related. I am participating in the Team in Training for El Tour de Tucson on Nov. 19, 2005, El Tour is a 109 mile ride. For those of you who don't know, Team in Training is part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It takes ordinary people and helps them train for endurance sports. Century rides, marathon's, and triatholons. As a member you receive full coaching, sponsored rides, and the event that you sign up for. All that they ask in return is that you raise money to help support the society. The money that we raise goes directly for research for Leukemia & Lymphoma, and to help families that are battling these illnesses. Leukemia is the number one killing disease of children, and it will strike over 100,000 Americans alone this year.😠
I personally am riding for a six year old by the name of Parker. He has been battling this disease since he was 3 years old, and unfortunately is back in the hospital. The money that has been raised over the years has led to amazing discoveries in the battle against Leukemia & Lymphoma, and has helped thousands of families like Parkers. Please, if you can see it in your hearts to donate, anything would be greatly appreciated. As a community cyclists are some of the greatest people I've ever met. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated, and of course for those in the U.S. it is 100% tax deductible. You can donate online at;
