National MS Society - Bike Event:
My brother and his friends are doing it again...help out of you can or spread the word!!
"As many of you know, a great friend of mine from college, Liam Kennedy, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in March 2008. After learning of his diagnoses a group of us decided we wanted to do something to show Liam our support. We learned of the MS Cape Cod Getaway and decided to form a team, Liam’s Lucky Charms or LLC. The Cape Cod Getaway is the largest MS ride in New England. Beginning on the morning of Saturday June 26, over 2000 riders will pedal from Boston, Massachusetts through the coastal towns of Massachusetts' South Shore to Cape Cod. Early Sunday morning, the riders cross the Bourne Bridge and ride through picturesque Cape Cod as they make their way to Provincetown.
In 2008, Liam’s Lucky Charms consisted of 12 riders and through the support of friends & family we were able to raise just over $28,000. That was good for 7th best team overall, despite being one of the smallest teams to participate. Team LLC was back at it in 2009 with 25 riders and raised over $60,000 which earned us 3rd overall and a fundraising award, see attached. That brings us to 2010 and after some heavy recruiting; team LLC currently has 56 riders registered for this year’s ride.
I'm hoping to raise about $1,000 and I’ve got about two months to do it. Obviously, I'd like to raise more but I thought this would be a nice goal to start with. I also realize that times are tough for everyone and I completely understand if you can't make a donation. Click here to get to my personal page and make a secure, online donation.
Or, why not join me on the day of the event? "
