Geez, Mary … you are AMAZING! What a huge thing to do in your life, & for such a great cause What a memory, too. I’m sharing all this with my daughter Bailey (9,& who has YET to learn to ride a bike, also hates cold weather, wet weather… um.. weather period). As we read, I’m explaining to her what you folks are going through just to raise awareness and get $$$ together to help research. I’m explaining that what you’re doing will help her & people like her be healthier & maybe even cured some day. (& throw in a message about TANSTAAFL here & there for good measure) She’s mightily impressed Gooooo Mary!

50 down and 150 to go. Piece of cake or should I say gravel. Lance Armstrong has nothing on you. Way to go!!

I have you tell you how much I am inspired by you and everyone else on this ride. I see hope for all of our children and every mile you guys ride. Though we just became part of this family, I feel you are riding not only for your girls but mine too. I am so inspired, that I know I will be in next years ride. Thanks for everything you are all doing for our kids.

Congratulations, Meir, on finishing day one. Two flats is really something. Guess it’s better that your bike got “tired” rather than you, huh? You’re such a champ for all of us. Hope you have better weather and better tires on day two.
Loving regards,
Ron

Mary,
I am so proud of you. I can’t imagine facing that many fears at one time. I can’t wait to see you in Seattle. I met your angel Amy last year and she is great. Tell her hi from me. I so happy to hear the you are all looking out for each other, but given the group, I would expect nothing less.
You go girl!
