Thank You

Every so often we have to pause and say thanks to the people who are helping to make this trip a reality.

Don Guerra: Don is our main logistics coordinator. He is cranking behind the scenes to make sure we have lodging, transportation, and hopefully a section of the trail over a closed bridge opened for our ride.
No easy task at all.

Mary / Heather / Joyce: Helping me make this not only a ride with friends, but a ride with a greater purpose. Mary is discovering her inner graphic artist as she designs the logo, creates the tee shirts, coordinates with other patient support groups, and a bunch of other details.

Heather and Joyce are busy helping get the word out to the media through our press release.

And a shout-out to Judy Blankenship at the Vasculitis Foundation who is helping Joyce promote or event via the VF.

John Fries: Thanks to John Fries who donated his time to whip our first draft of a press release into a polished, professional document. Here is a blatant, bias endorsement for John--check out http://www.johnfries.com/ if you want to see true creative talent in Pittsburgh. I highly recommend John if you are looking for a writer or graphics designer.

Donna: I actually don't know Donna's last name. Let's just call her Donna the Fitness Trainer. She has been working with me for the last month to help me get conditioned for this ride. Donna has provided me with a comprehensive fitness and nutrition plan that seems to be working. And she keeps me honest about sticking to that plan.

And the biggest thanks to those of you who are sponsoring our event. We really appreciate your support.
