Multiple Sclerosis Fund Raising

[LDowney]

Guys / Gals,
Carolyn and I will be riding our bicycles in the MS150 this weekend. It is a fund raising event for Multiple Sclerosis research and support. If you are interested in supporting efforts for MS, we would welcome and appreciate all sponsors.

Also for your consideration, there are numerous cycling events around the nation to support MS and there are three (Memphis, Nashville & Knoxville) in Tennessee if you want to sponsor friends closer to home. The following link is to the MS rides in TN

Thank Larry and Carolyn you for your find work.

Roger,
Thanks. We got the job done, but I am eating some crow.

Last Wednesday, the Red Cross was collecting blood at the office and I donated. Carolyn had warned me not to do it because it was too close to the event to fully recover. Well, she was right. I was really struggling (huffing and puffing) on the hills while she just cruised along. As a result, my darling bride kicked my butt and left all doubt behind. I did get a slight reprive yesterday from a twisted perspective ... I had three tire tube blow outs that left me walking about 12 miles from the finish line. She rode on without me and I carried the bike until the SAG wagon picked me up. As a result, I am not actually living down that she crossed the finish line ahead of me both days. The SAG wagon got me there a few minutes ahead of her. This is not much, but I will take it as ointment for my bruised ego. She is also behind me in meeting her pledge goal, so I will try to use that on my ego too.
