RAGBRAI

If you've been on the website recently, you've seen that Beth (my sister) has started plans for the week of RAGBRAI. The plan is that the money we raise this year will all go directly to the Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is the main national organization for promoting the search for a cure for SMA. We're hoping to get as many people as possible to ride for a day, and if you can't ride, we hope you'll consider sponsoring one of the riders or contributing in some other way. I'm planning on riding one day, and I'm still working on getting Michelle to ride. We haven't decided yet if we're going to do Day 1, which is on a Sunday and goes from Missouri Valley to Harlan, or the day that goes from Ames to Tama in central Iowa. If you're thinking about riding for a day, let us know. If you're reading this and have never experienced RAGBRAI, I'd really encourage you to think about doing it. It's a blast, and if you're part of the RACE 4 GRACE team we think you'll be part of a great cause.
