$7,500 Raised for Enduro Africa!

It’s true, sportsfans. With your help, I’ve raised the minimum amount required to participate in Enduro Africa, the fundraiser and off-road motorcycle ride that will benefit 4 fantastic charities in Southern Africa.

You’ve heard me it say tens of times already, but here it comes again: Thank you! Without your incredible generosity, encouragement, and expressions of interest, this simply wouldn’t have happened.

I know that many people are still out there would still love to donate. My hope is to reach my final goal of raising another $2,500 by July 15. Doing so would require me to attract 250 $10 donations, or 100 $25 donations, or 50 $50 donations, etc.

Piece of cake. Given the huge response so far, I’m confident that I’ll be able to do it. E-mail me to learn more, or use my secure PayPal widget to donate today.

Up next: An inaugural Andrew’s Enduro Africa 2009 e-mail newsletter for donors, updates about off-road riding and fitness training, and assorted developments.

Stay tuned. The adventure continues.

New business sponsor: Cosi

I'm thrilled to report that my local Cosi has generously donated a gift card to my Enduro Africa 2009 project. I'm just tickled that they were interested and willing to help.

I'll offer the Cosi gift card, along with my custom embroidered Enduro Africa tees, to donors in an upcoming pledge drive. 

Stay tuned. The adventure continues.

My apologies for the silence

Sad news, these past two weeks. First came rather sudden news that my paternal grandfather passed away while he was traveling in the UK. Then, without missing a beat, came news of a rather concerning cancer diagnosis in the family. Needless to say, it has been a challenging few weeks. 

Many thanks for your warm thoughts and best wishes.
