El Tour de Tucson

[Beeeej]

Fellow Big Red fans -

On November 17, I'll be riding my bicycle 109 miles in the Tucson, Arizona area to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  I've been blogging about the training and fundraising, why I'm doing the ride, and what the LLS does, for a few months now, so rather than spend a lot of time on it here, I'll just point you to the blog:

There you'll also find a video of me produced by Eddie Negron '94 - also available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP9tRfw-DCQ - and the most recent post is about an exciting Cornell/LLS research connection.

Anyway, I know it's not a free comedy show or anything, but I'd be most grateful for your support if you're inclined to give it.  All donations are tax deductible, and although a link to the donation page can be found at the bottom of every blog entry, I'll also give it to you here:

Many thanks for your attention.  Let's Go Red!

I did this ride several years ago. It is a nice ride

Best of luck.

Thanks!  Looking forward to it.  I did 86 miles on Sunday, and 26 today to loosen up from Sunday.  :-)

Just a quick bump to note that El Tour de Tucson is now less than two weeks away; I leave for Arizona a week from Thursday.  Still blogging about training, fundraising, and some of the things the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society does with the money:

Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far; to those who have not, there's still time to donate to help me out.  :-)  Thanks!

Pant-Hoot!!!

I mean, um --

Thanks for all your support thus far.  The deadline to make a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in support of my ride (which went well, thanks!) is this Friday at midnight.  Whomsoever puts me over $15,000 by Friday at midnight gets one of my legendary home-baked pecan pies.
