As many of you already know, September is childhood cancer awareness month ...
... the perfect time to leave a job, or skip a bunch of classes, or cancel every other possible commitment to get on a bicycle and tell people about something that is really really important!!
We're only doing a short ride ... a meager 1,000 miles combined riding in 10 days, but we've already raised over $12,000 ... and we have a this idea that people will be excited to hear about three crazy cyclists deciding to ride for the kids ...
The three of us that are riding consist of me (Austin from last year), Paul (a pro-trumpet player turned substitute teacher), and Kelly (a sophomore Vanderbilt student who is also a real life hero and cancer survivor!)
The core support team is Claire Olson and Nicole Shopshire, and we're also expecting key back up support from Kelly's mom and dad and my mom. They are going to follow along with the team for a few days and help us spread the word!
So stay tuned .. pictures to come. We'll be reporting from Memphis tomorrow night where we will start the tour with a trip to one of the greatest research hospitals in the world.
