A Good Cause

Today's the day I leave for the MS-150, a two-day, 180-mile bike ride from Houston to Austin, Texas. I'll be riding along with 12,000 other friends and strangers to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is my third year to do the ride.


Am I ready? Hmm. I'm not sure I can ever be "ready" for a 180-mile bike ride. It is definitely hard. It's also fun to be doing this with nearly a hundred of my co-workers. And I take pride in my own personal accomplishment, as well as being able to help the National MS Society.


My goal is to raise $1500 for the society. The National MS Society is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation may be tax deductible. Your donation benefits thousands of people affected by multiple sclerosis. You can donate online here...
