I have signed up to participate in a fundraising bicycle tour (Amgen California Coast Classic Bicycle Tour (http://www.californiacoastclassic.org) ) for the Arthritis Foundation. This tour will take us down the coast of California from San Francisco to Los Angeles, over the course of seven days. (520 Miles).
In order to participate, I am raising a minimum of $2800 for the foundation. I was hoping that the die-hard crew here at the forums could help. Any donations are tax deductible, and you know your money will be used to help fight a disease that probably affects you or someone you know.
Often misunderstood as a disease of the elderly, arthritis strikes without regard for age. It can bring intense pain to young adults, children and even babies. More than a quarter of a million children in the U.S. have some form of arthritis. It can start as early as infancy and will last a lifetime. Juvenile arthritis is medically different from the adult form and in many cases is more severe. It can cause joint deformities and affect a child skin, eyes and internal organs. As a national voluntary health agency, the Arthritis Foundation seeks to improve life through leadership in the prevention, control, and cure of arthritis and related diseases. Since 1948, the Foundation has spent in excess of $200 million to support more than 1,700 scientists and physicians in arthritis research programs specifically for the study of pediatric and adult rheumatic diseases. The Arthritis Foundation also provides educational research to help adults, parents and children manage their arthritis by providing a large number of community-based services nationwide to make life with arthritis easier.
If you would like to help, please Private Message me, and I will get you more information.
Thank you much in advance!!
