Mark & I are participating in a new event this fall and we're asking for donations. The event is the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride; we'll be cycling 25 miles in support of 10 non profits that serve women with breast cancer and their families. (Please know that this is the only event for which we are fundraising this year, so please give if you can.)
The ride will raise funds for 10 non profit charitites that all directly serve individuals with breast cancer and their families. Some, like the Komen Foundation fund education, screening and research; others provide screening & treatment for women who are un-insured or under-insured; others provide emotional support for the individual, their children and spouses; and still others assist with every day needs such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, etc. All of the charities provide support for individuals with breast cancer; many provide services to individuals with other cancers as well.
We are asking you to consider making a donation--even if you already give to a lot of good causes. Because the funds will be shared among the charities, we'd like to do our part to be sure there will be enough to benefit each charity. Donations of ALL sizes really are appreciated; so even if you can only send $10, please consider doing so--because every amount really does help! Donations are tax deductible.

By the way, watch for updates on this. The ride is October 10th and it has been way too hot to ride here--so 25 miles may be a big challenge!!!
