We are joining our best friends George and Rhiannon, and creating a team to participate in "Bike MS". It is a 150 mile bike ride through northern Idaho and it is for an an awesome charity! We have started to train for this journey and are very excited to have this opportunity. As a team we have to raise at least $250. We will be doing a few fundraisers, but would greatly appreciate if any of you can help us in this cause by giving a donation. Anything helps, no matter how little!
Jon and I are going to participate in the name of Lorretta White. She is the mother of some good friends of mine who just lost her battle with MS after 15 years. I attended her funeral a little over a week ago and it was one of the most amazing funerals I have been to; the spirit was so strong! Although 3 of her daughters are friends of mine, I never really got to know Lorretta very well. While at her funeral, I was able to learn a lot about her and the amazing life she led! She was one of the most positive people, and through hearing many of the stories told by her children she has set a great example of the way I should be. Unfortunately I often let things bug me, Lorretta would always brush it off and have such a positive attitude and outlook on things. Through her extremely hard fight against MS she never gave up and touched the lives of so many. It is our honor to be doing this bike ride in her name and to raise money to hopefully find a cure someday for this awful disease.
