What link do I click on that page? I wasn't sure where to go to find your name, registered riders link must be for you because you need a userid and password.

Thanks Hank. With losing two people very close to me in my life, both to leukemia, yes I am very passionate about doing what I can to find a complete cure to leukemia. I have it on both sides of my family, mothers and fathers side. And while right now all doctors say leukemia is not an inheritable disease, I cant help but think the worst for myself.

Even if I never end up with it, I hate every single time I hear of another person getting leukemia, well cancer of any type really, but leukemia in particular. Treating blood cancer is so difficult because you cant just spot radiate or spot treat. The entire body goes through hell and far too often that hell is for nothing.

If my mom could make it through her hell, (she was actually in remission, but an infection after her last round of chemo is what killed her), I certainly can make it through training and riding this ride for her and grandpa. I am more dedicated to this than I have ever been to anything in my life.

As for the link, does the link under my signiture not go anywhere for you? It works for me. It should take you to a page that is set up for my ride. I will be updating it with how my training is going and anything else until the ride and after. I am trying to raise $1000 in donations for the leukemia and lymphoma society and have decided if I surpass my goal I will actually do 175 miles instead of the 150. The first day I will do an extra 25 miles to make it a 100 mile day.

So anybody that hates me, there is a good way to get back at me, make me ride that extra 25 miles
