Something Serious & Important for Once

As most of you know, 99% of this blog is pure silliness and that when I refer to someone as a chuckwagon, knave or fool, it's my way of expressing cycling friendship.  However, a serious event came to my notice and I wanted to see what I could do to boost it along.  From Donna Bush, she types:
There are a group of cyclists who are putting together a benefit ride for Dan Peters September 1, leaving OU Lancaster. Dan owns a bicycling shop in Lancaster, OH and was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. The benefit will be to help with his family's medical expenses. There will be three routes. 20, 40 and 60 miles. Registration and check in will be between 7:00 and 9:00 AM. Entry fee will be $1 per mile you ride. Dollar for Dan Ride. A trust account has been set up so you can also donate by sending a check to Sitterley & Vandervoort Attn. Jennifer Sitterley Baum at 123 S. Board St. Suite 211, Lancaster Ohio 43130. Make checks payable to Sitterley & Vandervoort and mark in the memo line Dan Peters. For more information contact: Ron Burris @ reburris@diamondpower.com
