"I'm participating in a challenge to raise money for my community. During the month of February, Expresso (one of our bike suppliers) will donate $0.10 per mile completed to participants. I'm using this opportunity to raise money for those in need in my community and to also kick start a personal workout routine. I'd like to invite friends and family to sponsor me through this to make a bigger impact. For the record, I have completed 17 miles over the first two days, so if you are interested in making a per mile donation keep in mind my goal is 200 miles. If you would like to support, I would be happy to video chat or message during a ride or send pics. I may even be up for some supporter picked rides (there are some tough and long rides). I would love your support and know that your pledge will help keep me motivated and go to a great cause."
