Support My Trek to Find a Cause, Treatment and Cure for MS

If you've been following my training progress, you know that I'm not just doing this for me. I'm training this hard and riding in the Bike MS to support the research efforts to find the cause, a treatment, and ultimately a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Please support me and this cause by making a donation. No matter how small, every little bit will help. If your employer matches, I'd be happy to take care of the matching paperwork for you too.

You can donate online or mail a check to:
Bike MS: Valero Bike to the Beach
National MS Society
P.O. Box 4125
Houston, TX 77210
To ensure proper credit to my fundraising, please be sure to print my name on your check.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I can't wait to share the success of this year's ride!

Going Down

The good news is, I wasn't sore today from my measely five miles on the bike yesterday. The better news, I went to the doctor today for my check-up. In December, we determined my cholesterol was scary high (that's higher than "high".) Scary enough that the doctor actually had me pretty freaked out. But, it was enough to help me realize what I need to do to improve. I've spent the last two months doing a lot of reading, trying to make better choices, and thinking about getting more exercise scheduled into my life.

Today I go in for the follow-up a bit nervous. Well, I'm down two pounds (despite all the Christmas goodies) and my cholesterol is at the high end of the "normal" range. Whew! It's a start. I'm counting it.

Goals
Today's Miles: 0
Total Miles Achieved: 5
Financial Investment: $0
Total Weight Loss: 2
