Support My Ride - Best Buddies Hearst Castle Challenge: September 8, 2012

I challenge YOU
to donate the dollars (any amount!)
I do the miles (100)
YOU get a tax deduction
I get sweaty and sore
TOGETHER, we make life a little better for others.
It doesn't get any easier than this (well, for you, at least).

I need your help to achieve my fundraising goal. Click here to donate in support of Best Buddies International.

For the sixth year in a row, I will pedal 100 miles and climb more than 6,000 feet on my journey from Carmel to San Simeon to support Best Buddies.

I love this ride, and the cause warms my heart. I first rode for Best Buddies in 2007, and I was hooked. In 2008 I met pro bike racer Ryder Hesjedal and swam in the Neptune Pool for the first time. It was on the 2009 ride that I finally noticed the famous elephant seals on the outskirts of San Simeon. In 2010, I rode through the fog on a really fast bike. In 2011, I was a bit jet-lagged, but I made it to the finish.
