A
three course dinner has always been more my speed than a three day bike ride,
but we’re giving “sharing strength” a whole new meaning with our first 300 mile
bike ride called Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry. I’m neither a chef, nor within
20 years of the majority of the other riders, but I’m hoping that either pride
or pity will lead you to support my ride which will helps us feed hundreds of
thousands of American children. Join me @ http://join.nokidhungry.org/site/TR/Events/DD_Pers_Fund_13?px=3108579&pg=personal&fr_id=1300
In June, I’ll be riding 300 miles over three days, from Santa Barbara to San
Diego (which on the map at least looks all downhill). Your support – large or
small – will help take my mind off of the following concerns:
§ The combined age
of my knees is 120 years old, a fact that is physiologically not relevant but
mentally devastating (you’ll know what I mean someday)
§ Proper cycling
shorts are not a luxury but a necessity unless you plan to stand at dinner
while the rest of your friends and family sit and eat.
§ Instead of my
conditioning peaking on the week of May 25, 2015 per the Endorphin Fitness
training manual we are using, it will have peaked sometime during May of 1995.
Thanks for helping Share Our Strength create
yet another vehicle for generating the resources necessary for ending childhood
hunger in America. With 46 million Americans living below the poverty line, the
needs of our nation’s children are greater than ever – and having a great
impact on our schools, our health care system, and ultimately our economic
competitiveness.
One of our challenges here is to design
new opportunities through which people can share their strength. I know
that if we succeed we’ll inspire even more people than ever to get
involved. So my pitch is “If I can do it, anyone can!”
Again, a link to my donation page can be

considering getting behind our effort.
