mid week update!

second round of spin class done and it's only wednesday!  yipee!!  plus a day of cardio work.  i absolutely need to keep this up.  45 miles this weekend and rumor has it that it is going to be hills upon hills...

deep breath.  ok, yes i can do this.   what is starting to get a bit scary is the fundraising side.  the first big deadline is on april 9th.  I really want to have 50% completed or more so that I can breathe a little bit easier on that front.   So, massive campaign push coming.  I am thinking a referral contest would be a pretty good start. Announcing it this week!

I have to say though, this whole experience is so emotional.  Blood cancers have affected more people than I ever knew.  it is amazing how once you starting talking about this ride people open up and tell you stories about their best friend who passed away from leukemia when they were 24 or how they sat by their best friend's hospital bed for months while they fought through and are now in remission.  it's crazy stuff.  but remission isn't a cure.  so i will keep pedaling my way forward to raise money for this wonderful organization.  Thank you to anyone who has already donated to this cause.  If you haven't, please do.  There are many patients, families, and survivors that need your assistance and generosity.
