Racing to Save Lives
February 19, 2010 in Uncategorized by lkahney
For the first time since I was a kid, I am raising funds for a good cause: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a participant in their Team In Training program.
This July, we’re going to ride our bikes 130 miles through the High Sierras and over five giant mountain passes (15,000 feet of climbing). It’s called The Death Ride. Why? Because it’s a killer.
The Death Ride is a grueling sufferfest — a day of never-ending pain. But training for it is a great way to get in shape.
The pain of the the ride is nothing compared to the pain suffered by victims of blood cancer. That's why I'm trying to raise money for the Leukemia Society.
Can I ask you to help this year?
Please use this link to my Fundraising Page to donate online quickly and securely plus learn more about my progress. You will receive a confirmation of your donation by email and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation.
If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll walk you through it. I’ll even take your credit card number over the phone and enter it into the LLS system (no trips to Cabo, I promise).
Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. More than 823,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers. I am hoping that my participation in Team In Training will help bring them hope and support.
On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I greatly appreciate your generosity.
Thank you, Leander Kahney
You can follow my progress here on my Death Ride Blog. I’ll be posting regular updates about my training for this challenging event.
P.S. I would appreciate it if you would forward this to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well. Thanks again.
