Yep, you can always tell Spring is
our downtown.and throughout the state. It really is a cool site
standing on the sidelines, feeling the rush and excitement as
over 120 world class cyclists come rushing through the streets-
rain or shine.
initiative, the Amgen cycling road race is a tour de force
for athletics and the fight against cancer.
for athletics and the fight against cancer.
On a similar but different note,
our good friend and neighbor,
Team In Training. As you probably know, TNT
is brought forth by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,
encouraging and challenging ordinary people
to do extraordinary things.
"Over the past 20 years, more than 420,000 Team In Training® (TNT)
participants have raised $1 billion for lifesaving blood cancer research.
TNT provides training to run or walk marathons and half marathons
or participate in hiking adventures, triathlons and cycle events."
The interesting thing about Ken,
is that he had a major heart attack about 3 years ago,
yet know for the second year in a row he has
been participating in a grueling
daily training program and riding up to 125 miles
on any given weekend morning.
This year his team will be participating in the
"Death Ride" Tour of the California Alps
7/10/2010
129 miles / 15,000' of climbing
yes, really.
Ken is having a blast and even though the training
is so hard, he and his team understand...
'the individuals fighting blood cancer, are the real heroes'
and they need our support to cross the
ultimate finish line - a cure!

in his efforts and help him to meet his goal!
