backend of the Tour of Hope website looks like.
This morning I checked my Bristol-Myers Squibb Tour of Hope Rider Status Page, and I found that donations received as a result of my appeal have exceeded $1,000, and I know that more is on the way. I am trying to email each person that donates to thank them, but I have fallen a bit behind the pace.
I want to thank everyone who has already donated. I didn’t think that we would be able to raise twice the minimum amount to participate in the ride in one week. The commitments that people who have survived cancer have made, as well as those made by people who have lost close relatives, are particularly special. I have difficulty thanking those people, because I think they’ve given of their substance already, but they are willing to do more.
There are still at least two weeks remaining for people to make a donation. So, if you enjoy what you read here on Operation Gadget, please contribute a few dollars to the cancer research cause.
I have been spending too much time in front of my laptop and not enough time in the saddle. So, if you’ll excuse me for an hour or two, I’m going out to put in some training miles.
