Dusting off Speedster and Searching for Donors

Well, I've done it again.  Signed myself up for something I'm not sure I can do.  This time it will be the Solvang Century in March.  This will be a 104 mile bike ride through Central California wine country. It will include 5000+ feet of climbing, which seems to come at the very end of the ride.  It will not include any wine.  This is unfortunate.  I will be dusting off my bike and hoping that my hind quarters are up for the challenge.  Wish me luck.

No pictures of me on a bike so far, but here's one of me eating a lot of meat after a long ride.  Speedster's there in the background.

I am also volunteering my time as the Fundraising Capatin for our cycle team.  This means I am basically helping lots of other teammates in their fundraising efforts to find a cure for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

You will all be saddened to know you will not be receiving an email from me with a request for donations to my website.  But you're not off the hook so easy this time . . . .

I do desperately need donations that will help me with supporting my team. I'm hoping to do a series of raffles to act as incentives for people to raise more money for LLS.  The more they raise, the better chances they get to win a fabulous prize or two.

So, please please, can you help me find donations for:

• Gift certificates -  to restaurants, hair salons, massages, bike fits, furniture, book stores, clothing, etc. (Bay area or Online)
• Products - software, outdoor gear, food, wine, etc.
• Tickets - to events, museums or shows
• Services - hosting a wine tasting, cooking a dinner,  yoga classes, art classes, catering, etc. (Bay Area or Online)
• Spaces - venues for hosting private parties

All donations are tax-deductible.  And your company or organization will be promoted throughout the season.  If you'd like to contribute with cash, just let me know.  I can always work with that!!  Just drop me a note, give me aring, or comment here and I'll get in touch!!
