Hello everyone!

Next summer, I'll be going on a 4000 mile ride across North America to raise money and awareness for affordable housing. Before I go, however, I will need to raise $4000 - one dollar for each mile I'll ride - toward the affordable housing cause. If you can, visit my website and make a small donation - any amount is deeply appreciated:

You can also check out my blog to follow my ride - I haven't been posting much lately (because I doubt anyone wants to read about my trainer exploits), but expect posts to pick up more around May. Here's the link:

This will be my first real cross country tour, and I'm very excited to combine it with the level of community service I (along with the 29 other members of my group) will be doing. If you have questions, comments, or just want to say hi, please feel free to PM me here or email me at the address listed on my website.

Thanks for looking!

Just giving this another little nudge to the top - there are less than two months before my halfway-there fundraising deadline, so if you can spare a few bucks for a fellow rider, I'd really appreciate it! You can donate by going to this link (http://www.bikeandbuild.org/cms/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,118/) and selecting "Katch, Allyson" from the drop down menu. Thank you all in advance!
