I will be participating in the 2004 Tour of the North Shore on May 16. This event is an annual fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society and I am seeking pledges for my 50-mile ride.
In exchange for my pain and suffering (not really, I love to ride), you can have the satisfaction of assisting a worthwhile cause.
Details on the ride can be found here:

I've already paid the $30 entry fee so any funds raised through this page will benefit the American Cancer Society.
You can make a donation through Amazon here:

If you have a story to share about how cancer has effected yourself, a friend or family member, please do so. I think it is important to put a face on the statistics.
UPDATE: If DU helps me reach my goal, I'll sport a DU bumber sticker the length of the ride. Not only will hundreds of other cyclists see it, but also everyone along the route.
