Zumba night was a hit! There were prizes, music and some much needed water breaks for inept (being myself). We raised $350 to go towards the fundraiser! Thank you for organizing Meg

A busy weekend for Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising!

To cap off the weekend we headed up to Dartmouth for the annual Great Strides Walk in support of Cystic Fibrosis. Was grateful to have a few minutes to talk about my motorcycle fundraiser and have a cupcake...or two

Hello,

Just checking in with a little less than a month to go!

Hope to see everyone out and again if you have any questions or want to go over anything you can reach me several ways:

Hello!

First Blog. Really unfamiliar with writing and proper sentence structure so I apologize in advance. I wanted to emphasize one component of the fundraiser and hope that anyone who reads might be interested in sharing this information or participating if possible!

Below is the itinerary for the trip (more less) and I am currently still looking for businesses or groups looking to advertise on my helmet and jacket. I have room for stickers for the helmet but I have a LOT of room left on the jacket. You can easily make a patch at Walmart if you don't regularly carry them for your business by bringing in a print and putting it on cloth. Even if it were a logo on cloth I could work it on certainly. I will be posting a lot throughout the trip through facebook, twitter, instagram and my blog so it will get lots of attention!

Here's the rough basic route, open to any sites and suggestions if something stands out:
