TNT Fundraising Page

My husband and I are raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. We are participating in America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride on June 7th, 2009. This 100 mile road bike ride takes place in Tahoe, Nevada. The elevation for this ride varies from a low of 5955 feet, to a high of 7044 feet. Riding at such a high elevation will be quite a challenge for a couple of Florida flat-landers. But we are up for the challenge! My husband will be co-coaching the Tahoe cycle team for Team in Training. Please click HERE, or on the logo above, to make a tax deductible donation to this worthy cause.
