It's just like riding a bike! And I need everyones help!

Well actually it's not "like" riding a bike ... it is riding a bike.

Being a crazy person I signed up for a 150 mile bike ride but for a really good cause. I'm participating in the MS 150. For those not familiar with Multiple Sclerosis it is a very serious depilitating and eventually fatal disease that effects people of all ages. People are most commonly diagnosed in their 20s-50s.

I have known a few people over the years that have this horrible disease and for those that have to suffer through it's effects on a daily basis there is as of yet no relief in sight. THERE IS NO CURE!

So I figure what's my sore bum from riding a bike all day compared to a life of living day to day not knowing what new symptom will show up or if that day is my last. To this I hope anyone that can will be willing to put a little pain in their pocketbooks for this cause. Every little bit will help and it is all much appreciated. I have a pretty ambitious goal for this years ride so I need A LOT of support.

To make donations my website is: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/goto/awelch

Please forward this on to everyone you know; friends, fams, repost it in your blog. The only way to reach my goals of not only donations but spreading the word on this disease and how it effects us all is with your help. THANKS ALL!
