Livestrong Challenge

My son Robert, and I, will be riding our bikes in the Livestrong Challenge on June 29th in Portland/Beaverton, Oregon. Lance Armstrong began this event to fight cancer.

My brother recommended Lance Armstrong's autobiography, It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life. Jeanne admired his tenacity in fighting cancer, which she shared. We found ourselves following his Tour de France races closer than most sporting events. Last year, I read about the Livestrong event, but valid and not-so-valid reasons/excuses prevented me from participating.

This is the first time Robert or I have done anything like this, so we are excited and apprehensive at the same time. We are starting our "training" soon, but luckily, we have ridden our bikes enough we are in fair shape already. (OK, Robert is in better shape than me!) We have chosen the ten mile bike ride. Its a ride, not a race, at least to us.

So, we are asking for you to pray we can do this, safely. As well, are you willing to contribute financially to our fund raising goal?
You may contribute to either Robert's or my goal.

I am attaching links below. I included a multiple site options just in case one does not work.

Thank you for your support!
