The support from my family and friends is astonishing; Thank you all!
Today is cool and damp at the moment, but I'm ready to roll if a break in drizzle appears!
At July 30,I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to aim for 400 km, but the day I rode 42 km gave me a big "hurrah" because the summer strength building activity had worked again this year!
Today I'm officially raising my goal to 400 km to honour the donors to my site and the children who are so special in this 2026 project.
Today was unusual for me this August because Tilley Dog Kehoe arrived last night to have several days as my Grand dog!!!
We walked a lot today so I didn't fit in any cycling.
I'm so grateful for the names that appear with the donations on my page.
This is a jaunt through my life as I recall times we spent/spend together.
I wish the names stayed in order of the day/time the donation was made rather than bossy old Exell choice of picking the descending dollar amount as the way to manage the list.
Every dollar in the bucket is important; tallied together the total is far more than I am personally able to donate.
Thank you to all who have donated and also some who are still not appearing.
Pictures will come on a future note!
The support of friends and family is so wonderful!
Thanks for caring for the children of now and in the future.
I'm going to cheerfully and gratefully ride on for the remainder of August and give my energy to earn money to grow the funds!
Yesterday I sent an email to interested friends from prior seven ride years.
The big news was that Wednesday August 12 is once again the Matching day from the Garron Family's generous offer to donate $1,300.00 if donations match ,or exceed that amount.
However, that email reached people who wanted to donate immediately.
I reached my original target of $500.00 this morning. Now my new goal is $800.00!
The temperature now is lower than the 30C of last week, so I'm going for a ride. Now, when the hills are big, I imagine my supporters doing a push and the climb gets easier!
Family is the core strength in my life. We add to our family as the years advance!! I have ride company: virtually and real!!
My km goal is going to increase because time and weather have been favourable. Please watch for my Matching Day message and expand the $$$ value of any amount you feel comfortable in adding to my donation site. BerthaAnnFisher1 is a rider that search finds easily. I need more ‘pushes’ as I ride. Haha
