.Please consider making a donation to help one of our own for this very worthy cause. Just click this link to donate. Thank you.
You have already received an email from me asking for support in this fundraising event but this ride is so important to me that I am sending a follow up.
The Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer is a 2-day bike ride, over 200 km, throughout Queensland scenic countryside. For those of you that know me personally you might thing that I'm crazy for taking on something like this at my age, riding 100 km two days in a row, with thousands of other people. As you can imagine , riding that far is not going to be a simple feat for me. I'll have to train and get in shape. But I'm excited that I can finally do something this big in the fight against cancer.
I have joined a team from Vision Personal Training who helped me achieve another personal goal of losing 25kgs over the past 18 months and have motivated me to take this challenge on.
I hope you will understand why this is so important to me, and know why I'm asking for your financial support. My goal is to raise $3200- (you have to raise $2500- to be able to ride in the event) and I really hope you'll help me get there or hey, even beat it.
I hope that you can donate $100. I figure if everyone on my list donates $100, I'll meet my goal. The proceeds benefit the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. However azny donation over $2 is tax deductible so whatever you can spare in these difficults time will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support in my participation in this cycling event.
