It's Booty Time again!

This is Dave here and I am commandeering the blog again for a moment to let you know about an awesome event that I'm participating in in less than two weeks and to ask for your support. For the second year I will be riding in the annual 24 Hours of Booty bike ride in Charlotte. It's a 24-hour bike ride that raises money for national and local cancer initiatives. 

I don't have to remind you how much cancer sucks, but through events like this, through the stories we hear and see and through the people we meet, I feel blessed to be reminded how much good is out there, especially when you see so many rallying together to support and push forward.

Allison provided a great recap of last year's event on the blog.  So what came of the money raised?  Many of you helped last year and one of the key results of these and many other donations was the creation of a special, dedicated workout facility to allow cancer survivors to get back to activity at their own pace, not feeling self-conscious about their recuperating bodies.  This facility has received great reviews from those who use it and the goal is to create another such facility in a different area of the Charlotte Metro area this year and to further extend the physical and occupational therapy options for these fighters as they get back on their feet.

So far as a team we've held a 24-hour garage sale, a semi-formal gala, food events and more and now we're coming down the home stretch and I just want to ask for a little more help if possible to meet my personal goal of $2500 raised and to reach for our team goal of $100,000.

You can help here by making a donation of any size.  Your support is greatly appreciated and if there's any way I help you feel more a part of the even, no matter the distance, let me know.

24 Hours of Booty is a registered non-profit that has raised more than $7 million in the fight against cancer. Funds raised are divided among local cancer initiatives and LIVESTRONG.
