I hope this works! </strong></strong><br /><br />Save the date for next year:<br /><br />Saturday - June 14, 2008 New Start time: 7:30 AM.</strong><br /><br />Hi, my name is Mary Trufant, along with Ann White-Spunner, we are the founders of <strong>RIDEYELLOW</strong> a charity bike ride for cancer. Three years ago I started raising money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation because a bike ride sponsored by LAF happened to fall on the anniversary date of my Mother's death, who died from Cancer in 1998. <div><br /><p><strong>I was a girl, with a bike and a cause!</strong> </p><p>We raised a little over $3000. Last year, our sweet friend Sharon Meeks was diagnosed for a second time with breast cancer. We were on a mission. Friends and family banded together and we raised over $22,000 which was presented to the Lance Armstrong Foundation at their annual bike ride. </p><p>In February of this year, my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Sharon is still in clinical trials and is a true cancer warrior. Once again, friends and family, old and new, are banding together to fight this disease. Being pro-active people, we knew we wanted to DO something. The idea for <strong>RIDEYELLOW</strong> charity bike ride was born!! On Saturday, June 16, 2007, over 300 cyclists from 7 states participated in our inaugural ride. Combining cyclists and volunteers, we have over 350 people in our LiveSTRONG Army. </p><p><strong>We are strong. We are determined. We are focused.</strong> </p><p>Our goal this year was to raise $30,000. We did it! Together, we raised $31,500. That is incredible. <br />Even after the <strong>RIDEYELLOW</strong> bike ride is over the fight will continue. Cancer does not take a break and neither can we. <strong><em>Please send out an email to all of your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and any one you can think of. Boldly ask them to support all of us in this incredible effort.<br /></em></strong><br />LiveSTRONG<br />Mary & Ann<br /><br /></p><a href="https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=219860&lis=0&kntae219860=68E9856181B04019AEFC1C6BF9458CF9"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076009955531665906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QFaNbZwarwA/RnGcKSPPsfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/gVLHvCo2tAY/s320/DONATE.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://69.85.237.198/rideyellow/search.htm"></a></p><p></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6147571363654901529-238229581768168705?l=rideyellow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YellowBikeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02797753478372170452noreply@blogger.com1
