2011 MS-150

[Tink]

Hello all! 

My husband is raising money for this year's MS-150 and asked me if I would relay a message to all of the wonderful rennies on here.

Thanks!
Tink

I am participating in the 2011 BP MS-150, a two day bike ride from Houston to Austin to raise awareness and funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This year I wanted to do something new and unique to bring in additional support for the cause. . . so I put my thinking cap on.  After thinking real hard to come up with an unusual and creative solution, a light bulb went off and I have decided to reach out to my Renny Brethren for support. If members of this forum are able to find it in their hearts to support the fight against MS and make donations on my behalf that total 200 dollars or more, I WILL RIDE THE ENTIRE TWO DAY 150 MILE RIDE IN FAIRY WINGS ! So if you want to see the photo journey of a large man sporting fairy wings travel 150 miles by bicycle, use the link below to access my donations page and please be sure to put a comment in the "personal note" section stating "Fairy Wings" so that I know that your donation is to be included in the fair wings total.

Thank you for your support

Ditto! Good luck!

My husband wanted me to let everyone know that y'all are awesome, and that y'all have already helped him raise $70!  He also assured me that there will be PLENTY of pictures!  (and I'll help make sure of that, myself!)  I have a suspicion that he secretly really wants to bike in wings, so I appreciate you all helping to make it happen!

Yay! What's the deadline? Helpful for the procrastinating bunch and for reminder purposes LOL.

[Merlin the Elder]

Make sure to keep us posted on progress toward the goal...

[Tink]

The deadline for donations is mid May MARCH (sorry about that), and he will be sure and keep you all updated (through me, I assume LOL)

[Pan]

HI, everyone ! 

Yep, the donations will be due mid March so that I can have time to buy or make some wings before the ride in April ! I can't thank you enough for the support !

I will keep updates coming and if the total is reached, I will let you all pick the color and style of the wings. ... it just wouldn't be any fun if I am allowed to pick them out for myself.

Thanks again

Pan and Tink, I thank you for doing this event. People need to be made aware and educated about this life altering condition. I would never wish it on anyone.

So from me, my sister, and all of the others living with Multiple Sclerosis.... THANK YOU!

I made my donation today but forgot to include "fairy wings" in the note.... silly me.

[Merlin the Elder]

That will be 2 demerits, or a batch of chocolate chip cookies...

[Pan]

Thats OK Celtic Lady, I realized you were from the forums and your donation was credited in the current 95.00 towards the Fairy Wings !

[Merlin the Elder]
