What Will You Give?

So today marks approximately 3 weeks of having the BLOG alive and well.  We've had over 1,000 visits to the BLOG so far.  For those that have watched from the beginning, you've seen it go from a simple black and white posting (my attempt) to being filled with pix, links, posts, and gadgets...all thanks to my Sis, Jandy.

But with 38 days until the big race, not only is my training becoming more intense (well, once I am back on two wheels) but now we need to step up our focus on earning support to Kailey's Krew.  Kailey's Krew is a not-for-profit organization and one of our goals is to be able to provide financial support to families that find themselves enduring the hardships associated with having a child dealing with a serious illness.

Remember that number, 1,000+?  Imagine if each of those 1,000+ individuals made a donation of just $10 to Kailey's Krew?  Unrealistic?  Yah, probably so, since I'd venture to guess there would be several out there willing to give $25 or even $100 to Kailey's Krew.  But staying focused on the $10 donation would still have brought $10,000+ to Kailey's Krew.  That is some significant support to families when they have more important things to think about or worry about. 

Did anyone get to see our article in the June 30th issue of the Chatham Clarion?  Oh, and stay tuned for coverage on WICS-Springfield evening news in the near future - yup, we have an interview appointment tomorrow!  So, what about a Corporate, Business, or Organization Challenge?  What if your organization, corporation, or business decided to make a donation?  And when you do, we let everyone know during one of our interviews, broadcasts, or stories?  And wouldn't it be cool to see your logo on our Blogspot?  And even more cool for another 1,000 visitors to this Blogspot to see your name or logo as related to your donation...

I'm not sure how else to make my plea to you to donate or make a pledge on behalf of the Pedal of Hope in support of Kailey's Krew, but I hope you read this post and hear my voice.  And know that 100% of all funds received, go to Kailey's Krew.  All costs associated with the team going to Colorado are our personal costs and will not be supported by funds raised for Kailey's Krew.

So, step it up and make a donation to Kailey's Krew and don't forget to write "Pedal of Hope" on the memo line.  Or send an e-mail to the address shown to the right of this Blog and make a pledge based on miles I'll complete, time I'll finish, or simply based on whether I will finish or not...make it a challenge!

Until next time, ride hard!
