Giving Back a Third Time
A couple of months ago, my friend, Seth, rode in the Pan Mass Challenge, a bicycle ride across Massachusetts whose proceeds raise money for The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
This year, Seth set an incredibly ambitious goal — to raise $6,000. Through a combination of donations and software auctions, he met his goal. He’s all done. But, apparently, we can still donate. I don’t want to break my streak of helping out this wonderful organization and giving some of my money to help fund cancer research.
I have been a little spaced out recently, so I haven’t gotten to this until now. So, today, I’m donating a dime for every mile on Seth’s log. He’s ridden 3,123.84 miles so far this year, so I’m giving $312.38. I’d like to urge you all to give whatever you can. You can still donate to the Jimmy Fund in Seth’s name.
Congratulations of five years of riding this thing, Seth. My hat’s off to you.
Darn! I should have updated my stats.
There are LOTS AND LOTS of miles that haven’t been posted yet, from this year. At least 800.
I’m not kidding about the miles, but I am kidding about the “darn.” A personal donation of over $300 puts you in my list of top five donors (again), so please believe me when I say “thank you!”
Seth
