On the eve of ride day, the donation total stands at $2120, which is more than I expected and will definitely make a huge difference for a lot of needy and deserving people. If you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time… hit up the button below:
If you have already donated, I seriously can’t thank you enough. Everyone’s generosity has been tremendous. I’m still holding out hope for a few stragglers to make some last-minute donations, and I also want to make sure all the e-checks through PayPal have cleared, so I’m going to wait a week or so after the ride before I make the lump-sum donation to FINCA.
I hope to do at least a couple of in-race posts tomorrow from my phone, but we’ll see how that goes. I’m off to sleep, I have to be up in 5 hours to head up to central park to start this absurdly-long bike adventure. Thanks again to everyone, especially those who wished me luck on the ride… I’ll need it.
