Anyone ever done one of these before? My sister is working for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and she found out about this ride. It's basically an all-expenses-paid trip to do a century ride in Monterey or Death Valley, CA. Of course the caveat is that you have to raise $3000. How hard is it to raise $3000? Does knocking on doors work? Sounds to me like the experience of a lifetime... but I wanna know first if its plausible before I get too excited.

In case anyone else is interested in doing it too:
