Riding in the Courage Classic

This has nothing to do with Oracle, but it does relate to my Tag and Follow Up blog entries.

On July 26, 27 and 28, I will be joining nearly 2000 other cyclists in riding 157 miles (and lots of hills) through the Colorado Rockies in support of one the best pediatric hospitals in the nation: The Children's Hospital of Denver. This is the 19th year for the Courage Classic, and so far, it's raised $17.6 million for Children's. The Children's Hospital of Denver has been around for almost 100 years. The people at Children's take care of some of the sickest kids around, as well as kids who need typical childhood care. They also educate pediatricians, pediatric specialists, nurses and other health-care professionals. Children's is a non-profit, so the people there rely upon donors to help them sustain their excellence.

I would like to raise $2500 for this great cause. Will you please support my ride with a donation? Your gift is tax-deductible. It's easy to give. Follow the link to my personal Web page and click the Donate Now! link at the top of the page. You can give via credit card, bank account debit or PayPal. You can also send a check to me (contact me for mailing address and details).

Why I support The Children's Hospital

• I was born with a heart defect and the doctors, nurses and staff of The Children's Hospital of Detroit provided me with life saving care. Thanks to their efforts and the support of family and friends, I am able to live a full and active life. By riding in the Courage Classic, I am able to assist others and help say "Thank You" to those who have assisted me.
• I ride to support the doctors, nurses and staff at the hospitals around the world that have cared for and will care for the children of my family and friends.
  
• A few years ago, I spent some time at Children's visiting a friend and her family. The care she received was truly first class. The facility is amazing and the staff among the best I have ever seen.

Please consider making a donation by August 31st, 2008. You'll make my day, and you'll help sick and injured kids get the medical care they need.
