That means no first bike practice with the group, and since this is the second weekend I am stuck inside for the most part: cabin fever. Luckily the bike trainer is still sailing along nicely and my room mate got The Hurt Locker from Redbox. I think I can throw down two hours and some calisthenics today.
On the fund-raising front I just sent out my first rounds of emails and facebook messages. I'm a little nervous about how they'll be received and I'm hoping for some responses, but If you're reading this it probably means that you got one. Friends and family all have received emails and I'll be getting hits on my email every time someone donates. Something I'll quickly mention here because it hasn't totally come to fruition just yet: Cheesecake Factory will donate a gift card worth $50 for the cause. I will use this as a raffle prize to anyone who donates AND tells someone they know who would have an interest in the cause about my drive. No big chain letter, just $10 and let me know you passed the word on and you'll be entered. I like this idea though, maybe I can get other local restaurants to pitch in some gift cards and we'll be raffling off dinner on the town.
As always, please donate.
All right, time to hit the imaginary bricks.
