Does any one know of any rides coming up for Breast Cancer in the San Diego area? A friend of mine wants me to do a ride (if I can find one around here), but my biggest problem is raising money. The last time I rode the Tour de Cure, NOBODY would donate any money, excuse after excuse. Finally I gave up and didn't do it any more. I'm hoping with this type of ride people would be more willing to donate.

See if the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk still needs crew members for the walk -- it's the second weekend in November -- www.3-Day.org I'm captain of the bike route safety crew in Atlanta, and I think there's a crew in San Diego.

Edit: I just checked, and the crew is full. Sign up for 2008. I'm thinking about crew in San Diego 2008 too.

"Please note: Crew registration for the San Diego 3-Day has reached capacity and is now closed. We are still recruiting qualified health services professionals to join our Medical and Sport Medicine teams. To register for one of these Health Services Crew teams, please contact Amy Schwager , Crew & Volunteer Coordinator, at (800) 996-3DAY x. 946."

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as you probably know...

Here's a heads up for NEXT year -
A NEW Breast Cancer event in Solvang, CA.
I'll post more when the word is officially out!
