Ride, Baby Ride!
This weekend is the Pan Mass Challenge, the biggest athletic fundraiser in the United States. Over 6000 riders will raise more than $32 million, 100% goes directly to support research and treatment at Dana-Farber.
I’ve had the pleasure to be invited to serve as a speaker at the event’s kick-off, along with this guy. And Vampboy will be making a special, incredibly cute and thereby tear-jerking appearance.
Blog readers and lurkers are welcome to view the fun! As far as I know, the portion of the event I am speaking at will be recorded and available for viewing at www.pmc.org after 8pm on Friday (August 5th). You should watch the whole thing, but I’m slated to speak towards the end of the first hour.
And if you haven’t already, go ahead and give some donation love to Papa Bradstein , who is riding in his second PMC. I mean, come ON folks — the guy shaved his head and beard to raise money..Behold!
Watch the twitter feed for updates on Friday, and this here blog for any other posts, updates on viewing opportunities, etc. And, as always, thanks for being part of the journey.
An Open Letter to…
Dear newbie,
We haven’t met yet, but apparently I’m your dad.
It is said that we choose our parents. If that is the case, you have apparently gone the extra mile to get to us, through a kind women who has agreed to get you here, to us. Apologies for making you take the detour, but not every path in life is a straight line.
Your crib is in place, your brother kindly moving up to a “big boy bed” to make room. Your mom has brought out his former baby clothes, chosen the keepers and gotten rid of the rest. Friends, family and co-workers have ensured you will not rely solely on hand-me-downs, either. In fact, just tonight your mom folded some new jumpers — all organic, of course.
So, just wanted to say hi. See you soon.
