Go Jim Go! Official Ride for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital

Okay folks, first off let me introduce myself. My name is Adam and I am from Memphis, Tn. I am fairly new to the road biking game. I had been somewhat involved in BMX and mountain biking but now my heart lies with road biking.

This year I participated in Go Jim Go! which is a sponsored ride to raise money for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital here in Memphis. Basically the ride is a bunch of average guys and some great riders riding with Jim Jaggers from News Channel 3 in Memphis. Jim is a fairly big guy, not what you would picture when you think of someone pulling the mileage he does. In 7 days we ride 333+ miles. This year we raised over $160,000 and I want next year to be even more! So, I just wanted to go ahead and post this up to start raising awareness. We would love for businesses, schools, churches, Sunday school classes or even single donors and families to get involved. If you would like to help I will post up some websites below where you can read more info and make donations. I want to go ahead and thank those who will help and those who can't but would love to. It is just awesome to see this hospital that offers so much to the community to flourish because of our monetary gifts! Thank you so much for your consideration!!
