Pan-Mass Challenge: I rode 90+ miles yesterday and 70+ miles today to complete my first ever physical fundraising, in this case for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Center. I raised over $6,000 and more donations are still coming in. This was probably the toughest physical thing I ever did in my life, as I've pretty much been a couch potato up until now. :)


It was inspirational to meet so many cancer patients, survivors, friends and family membes on this trip. And the roadside volunteers and "cheerleaders" were just incredible.


I highly recommend this ride. I only did about 10-12 training rides over a 2.5 month period, and did the ride just fine. (Well, the first day was fun, the second day was hard.) Next year I'd like to train a little more.


Thanks to everyone who donated; I will be sending a letter to each donor with more info about this.
