"multiple times" made me think that since Emotiva has enduring support for the Wayland Family, maybe place a link in the rotating ad feature and add on the order completion page an opportunity to donate $5/$10/$15, ect to the order specifically for this cause. ~ Maryland put up for vote this legislation session to add a check box on their state returns to contribute a dollar to a Veterans Support Fund: easy to do, reaches many... and adds up! It is of course valuable to have a start and end date to a fund raising effort with specific goals but raising funds for 'cures' should be as enduring and persistent as the search for the cure itself. Just a thought... r/

Later than in the past but just made a donation for a very worthy cause. I still remember making donations to Derek and his good friend who were both riding that one year.
My very best to Derek and his daughter. Have a fun and safe ride.

If training for a bike ride like this is anything like training for a marathon then you have tapered off on your miles and are probably enjoying the break from long training rides.
I pray this week brings you rest so you can are fresh and ready to go next weekend. Even if it is a tough week and you go in to the ride a little depleted, just remember what you are riding for is way more important than how you ride.
Thank you for giving your time/energy to raise money for this cause.

The giveaway may be over, but you can still donate. This weekend is the ride, so you still have a few days to donate if you would like to.
Thanks!
Derek
