PMC Strikes Again

So, its January. The middle of January. Its finally snowing. So what did I do? I signed both "ki" and I up for a 192-mile, 2 day ride from Strubridge, MA to Provincetown, MA. In order to fund the Jimmy Fund. We are officially an additional $7,200 in debt (even if we cancel, we owe the money). If thats not impressive enough, consider this: the night we spend in the middle of the ride, we'll be sleeping in a tent, on the ground (sore muscles and all). But, because we are physically able, we feel that we have to.

Last year, we didn't sign up in time. We missed out, and were left with a 'one day' ride option. It was great, but this year we get to do the whole shebang. We've already done the hilliest part. Now we have much longer to train (in theory). Much longer to fundraise. Its time to get creative. Ideas welcome. Donations welcome. People to come and cheer and clap welcome.

We all need goals, right? How about curing cancer & helping the Jimmy Fund? thats a pretty heavy goal. The PMCs goal this year is 27 Million. Last year, they had reached their goal even before the ride started, and had to adjust to a new goal. I can't wait to see what happens this year.
