I just registered to participate in the 2009 Alberta Ride to Conquer Cancer. It’s an epic 2 day, 200km bike ride in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary, with riders raising funds to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

My goal is to raise $2500. But I need your help. If you can, please sponsor me.

I will be training for the ride, to build up to the longer distances and mountains that will be part of it. It’s going to be one hell of a challenge, but it’s also going to be well worth it.

If there was ever a reason to tap into the power of my PLN, this is it.

  1. It’s awesome that you’re going to be doing the ride. I’m very seriously considering doing the BC ride (Vancouver to Seattle).

  2. Man, it sure would be nice if YOUR name appeared anywhere on the donation form. Sponsored, but I have no idea if it’s correctly going to you…

    Yeah. It’s a strange form – I even got the URL for it wrong initially because it’s different for me than for non-logged-in people. Silly form. The donation went through, and showed up on my page. Thanks!

    Thanks for doing this, D’Arcy. I’m happy to support your ride and I hope your network comes through in great numbers.

    The next time my daughter sells magazine subscriptions or whatever for school, I’ll give this approach a try.

    Thanks for your support, Rob! I’m just copying Alan’s technique – he did this in 2007 for a diabetes fundraiser marathon.

  6. The receipt that showed up via email has your name on it too. Ride well, my son!

    When’s the deadline for this shindig? I have to raise some money so I can donate to you so that you will fund the cure to my as-to-yet undiscovered cancer. So thanks in advance.

  8. dnorman says:

    The deadline isn’t until sometime in May. No rush, Rev.

    Looking forward to seeing you through this. My pathetic contribution aside, I am psyched you have the energy to do it!

    Cole, thanks for the support. Your contribution was anything BUT pathetic. You rock.
