Some friends have asked me if I will ride across the U.S. mainland by myself, if I'll camp, etc. My answer: YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING! NO WAY! I'm going on a fully-supported bike tour directed by a company from New Hampshire (where I grew up) called America by Bicycle (www.abbike.com).

About this Blog...
Aloha!
This spring (April 17 to May 14, 2010) I will be riding my bicycle across the U.S. mainland - from Costa Mesa, CA to Savannah, GA - to raise money for the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation (SPF). (O.K., I'm also doing it for the challenge of riding 2912 miles in 27 days!)
What is the SPF? The SPF is a volunteer-managed and operated non-profit organization devoted to finding the causes and cures for two groups of neurological disorders called Spastic Paraplegia and Primary Lateral Sclerosis. These spinal cord disorders cause progressive weakness and spasticity in the muscles in the lower body. People generally go from difficulty walking to needing a cane to sometimes a wheelchair. To learn more about the SPF, please click: www.sp-foundation.org.
Why am I raising funds for the SPF? I am raising funds to support my older brother Mark (see the Feb. 2 post), one of the co-founders of the SPF, who suffers from Spastic Paraplegia.
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN - A LUMP SUM, OR A CERTAIN AMOUNT PER MILE. YOUR ENTIRE DONATION WILL GO TO THE SPF.
To donate online, please click: www.spfoundation.org/donate.htm.
If you prefer to send a check, please send it to:
The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation
P.O. Box 1208
Fortson, GA 31808
Mahalo (thanks)!
