raffy Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 So I signed up for the 2013 Tour de Cure in Orlando on March 17, 2013 and joined my local shop's team - Winter Park Cycles. Most of you guys know I love cycling and I'm a sucker for these rides/bike fests. More importantly, the Tour de Cure is a ride that benefits the American Diabetes Association.This cause is near and dear to my heart as my cousin and close friend, Angelo is a Type 1 Diabetic and I am riding for him. We grew up together and we are very close even though he's back home in the Philippines and I'm here in the USA. Anyway, I am posting here to shamelessly ask for donations. No amount is too small and every dollar matters Please click on this link for my personal Tour de Cure page. Raffy's Personal Page Thanks in advance to the HC family for your support!
VPI Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Done. As a Type 1 myself I am really looking forward to riding in the Virginia event this year.
mrarroyo Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Well done Raffy, btw the PayPal link in the form is not working. Has anyone else tried it succesfully?
VPI Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 The link is just to a description of paypal. You have to choose Paypal in the drop down to the left of the Paypal Logo.
The Monkey Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Done. Good luck! When choosing Paypal, the "Next" button is hard to see because it's red. It is on the bottom right side of the page.
tyrion Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I have a deposition in Orlando 3/15 so maybe I will join you. My dad had type 2 and my cousins son has type 1.
raffy Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks for the generous donations gang! The HC family truly rocks! Mike, you're more than welcome to join me! Same thing for JP and Vicki and anyone else interested.
Dreadhead Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Done. Good on you! Done. As a Type 1 myself I am really looking forward to riding in the Virginia event this year. I would be interested in joining you depending on the timing.
skullguise Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Done, thanks for riding! My company may also process a matching gift, will check it out. I registered them when I donated.....
jp11801 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Raffy done and I will likely join you!!
mrarroyo Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 The link is just to a description of paypal. You have to choose Paypal in the drop down to the left of the Paypal Logo. Thanks, that worked.
swt61 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Done. Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Have fun!
raffy Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) No need to apologize Steve! I'd like to thanks everyone for their generous donations! I know we all have daily expenses here so I realize your donation means some sort of sacrifice on your part, may it be not buying your daily coffee for a week, holding off on a purchase, picking up less beer on your beer run, etc. It really means a lot to me and just reinforces the awesomeness of this community. You guys rock! BTW, here's tomorrow's 45 mile training ride. It's towards a part of town I've never rode at yet and it approaches towards Lake county which is somewhat hilly. It's about 1,200 feet of elevation gain. Hopefully no winds tomorrow morning! http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2071644 Edited January 19, 2013 by raffy
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Also late to the game, but in. Have a good ride Raffy!
HeadphoneAddict Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 I only just saw this and donated - ride hard!
raffy Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 Did the ride yesterday....it was chilly out at 730am but turned out to be a nice day as the sun came out. It was a lovely day to go out riding and this one of the biggest bike events I've been too - there were 1,500 riders. I wish I had my HC Bike Team (esp. the South FL crew) with me but it's still very early in the season, we'll have plenty of opportunities to ride. Thank you all VERY MUCH again for the generous support! 3
