Thanks Raf, and QotS! I have to say, the cycling's the easy part. The fundraising is much more work (the minimum I have to raise is $4200).

But this year it's not about the money; it's about my goal of 100 sponsors, when I've previously never had more than 70. What that's done, though, is make people more comfortable giving a small amount. Rather than feeling guilty about only giving five bucks, people can feel good about helping me toward my goal even by making a small donation.

There's a bit more about my goals for this year at the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnv47u1CRIw

Thanks, and be well, all!
