First off, I hate asking for donation for anything. But this money is not for me, this is for cancer research. This is a disease that will strike one of every two men and one of every three women in the United States at some point in their lives. Second, if you are interested in joining the ride, let me know if you have any questions. I've decided to participate in a great experience. It will involve cycling (the NON-motorized type) for a great cause, and I've posted this because I need your help. Lance Armstrong will join us on Pelotonia's inaugural ride! Pelotonia is a grass roots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. It is a cycling experience that will take place August 28th-30th. The ride will span two days and will cover as many as 180 miles. I am writing to ask you to help me reach my fundraising goal. Large or small, every donation makes a difference. Thanks to NetJets' transformational gift, 100% of every donation will fund essential research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. By supporting Pelotonia and myself, you will help improve lives through innovations in research with the ultimate goal of winning the war against cancer. I would love to have your support in this inaugural year. This truly is a unique opportunity to be a part of something special. When you follow the link below, you will find my personal rider profile and a simple and secure way to make any size donation you wish. Think of this as a donation not to me, or Pelotonia, but directly to The James for cancer research. Please consider supporting my effort and this great cause.

Mods- if you would like to remove this post, I will have no hurt feelings. I thought this would be a way to communicate this to the Central Ohio area.
