  “Thank you so much for donating and supporting this cause. I am looking at the rain predictions and seeing I really need to plan ahead but it has been lovely so far. I am at 141 and hope to end the weekend at 250, depending on the weather I will make it pretty easy if I get some serious miles in. I hope that you try this one day. It really is so wonderful to be working on one positive goal with people from all around the world, and no meetings! Thank you again.”

  “Pam, thank you so much. I really appreciate the support. I will be thinking of you as I ride this fall. It is exciting to be starting but a bit overwhelming. I pray the weather holds, if not I might have to join a fitness club and ride inside or find a friend with a stationary bike. I will do it one way or another. Each donation makes me more determined to do my part.”

  “Thank you for your donation. You helped me make the financial part of the challenge and I am going out for a ride, waiting for a cool breath to come through, and that will push me over the half way mark. It looks like tomorrow afternoon I will be able to make another ride and then Lee says to take a break while it comes through Maine in a big wet windy mess. Thank you again”

  “Thank you so much. As usual I am fueled by each donation. this year I am riding with a little child I am working with who is currently undergoing his second round of chemo and so I am even more determined to get through this. I will be riding with the flag I made last year with people who donate on one side and the names of people with cancer on the other. I feel we are all in this together and am so grateful for your donation. I hope you are well and happy.”

  “Oh Nat, thank you so much for supporting me again. I will think of your friend. We just got back from biking in NH, I took a tumble in a tunnel that was uneven but apart from some road rash and a weird pinky injury I am fine. Jeffrey turned us around just in time. I really appreciate your support and am looking forward to January.”
