Announcement….
With a lot of thought and consideration I have decided to Ride in the local Eastern NC MS150 in memory of Sydney “Lalligal” who suffered from MS. I am not sure where the thought came from exactly. But for some reason after it came across my mind I could not shake it. I looked at the dates and I found I already had plans so I started to push it to the side because I am really in no shape to do this again at this point. Last time I did it was in 2004 and before my most recent knee surgery. But the more I thought about it the more it stuck with me, so I thought well if I do it I want to do it right. I’ll contact the family, and thought’s to make sure it is ok. The family was pleased and I felt a little pride in the reaction I got, so now to thoughts. I wanted to be able to blog my training progress as well as track my donations and I wanted to be able to get the thoughts family involved. But to do that and put up a link so that I can get donations from thoughts members as well as my outside people I wanted to get the “NOD” from the Don… or the Ben lol. Well I was given a green light.
So Friday I will register with the event and I will be given all my direct links to the National MS web page… and from there I will start to track my progress with my training… or my lack of… and then how the donations are coming. Each rider is supposed to bring in at least 200.00 plus their registration fee… I plan to cripple that amount and leave it in the dust… but I am not sure what goal I want to set quite yet.
Thank you for reading this… this is not about me in any way… this is about Syd and about MS… so during all of the MS blogs tell your stories… about Syd… or about friends and family members who have this… share…. And find friends that you may not have know were out there… you guys are all beautiful people… and Syd was a special and beautiful person as well… Help me remember her, and bring out community just a little closer.
Thank you….
Smile… when you can not push any more and you are about to give in… the reserve you find out of no where just might be an angel lending you a hand.
