$500

Today, the most unexpected thing happened.
I have been very worried about reaching the minimum ($2500) of donations for the Aids/LifeCycle 4. For no reason, I checked my personal homepage on ALC and noticed that my pledge amount had jumped from $1074 to $1574. A guy from United Kingdom, “may the Queen (s) bless him”, Gregory Noe, had pledged $500 onto my account. I am soooooo happy right now. People like him (and all my other donors) and situations like that make me want to ride every year. It feels so rewarding!
Gregory must have seen my posting on Bear411, an online chat room, where one can find Bears and Bears lovers from all over the world. It is a very friendly environment.All I need now is to pick up the pace on my training rides and get ready for the ALC week!!! I have to GET USED to my bike “on my butt”. That is the most important…
