Hi Folks, First off, I apologize for sending non-EFO content across the edheads listserv BUT over the years, the edheads folks that I've met have always been wonderfully kind and generous folks so when I was trying to think of folks willing to support a great cause, edheads were at the top of my list. For the second year in a row, I am participating in the California Coast Classic, a 500-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. On behalf of the Arthritis Foundation, the tour will be raising funds to support arthritis research and community-based education programs for the 67 million Americans affected by arthritis (including over 300,000 children). That is nearly one out of every four people! It can strike without regard for age, and in fact nearly 300,000 children in the U.S. alone suffer from some form of arthritis. This disease affects major life activities, such as working, going to school, enjoying sport activities or keeping house. Arthritis research CAN make a difference. The Arthritis Foundation devotes more than $11 million annually to research and is leading the way to more successful treatments. The Arthritis Foundation also makes a difference in the lives of those affected with arthritis by providing programs that help people with arthritis and their families better understand and cope with their disease. Last year, the CCC riders raised more than $1.1 million for the Arthritis Foundation and we are shooting to break that record this year. Please consider make a tax-deductible donation in support of the Arthritis Foundation at http://ccc.kintera.org/seth Any amount is appreciated and WILL make a difference in the lives of those affected by arthritis. I can also accept checks on behalf of the AF (contact me offline for mailing address). Feel free to forward this message to anyone you know who might be interested in supporting a VERY worthy cause. (Also if anyone is interested in joining the ride, there's still time! I'd be happy to provide more info to anyone interested.)
