I feel I have an obligation to “give back” or “pay it forward” or whatever you’d like to call it. I believe in charity. This year, once again, I am participating in a Multiple Sclerosis bike ride to help raise money and awareness for this disease.
As much as I like to help, I typically prefer to do it with “sweat equity.” I find it hard to ask people for money. I do ask, but usually end up just writing a sizable check to the organization myself. I could never be a used car salesman. I don’t have that pushy attitude regarding other people’s hard earned dollars.
That being said, I’m only going to ask once. Please visit my M.S. – Pedal the Plains website. On there you’ll find a button to click to donate. Please do. Any amount is fine - $5 to $500, all amounts are appreciated. Please note there is an “anonymous” choice for donating if you so choose. Of course I won’t be able to thank you if you do it that way, but you do whatever makes you most comfortable.

Thanks!

Getting your charity donation done by bike is the perfect match. I cook breakfast for the homeless on Saturday mornings and bike the 4 mile to the hall.
There is a lot of animal rustling when I ride through the wooded section of the bike trail on that return trip, smelling like pancakes and sausage.
