In September of this year, I will be participating in the first DC area Ride to Conquer Cancer—a two-day, 150-mile bicycle ride through Maryland, Virginia and DC.

This ride benefits Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial and Suburban Hospitals in support of cancer research, treatment and services.

I have agreed to raise a minimum of $2,500 (which has been met—thank you, everyone!), but I set a personal goal of $3,333.33 and could use a bit of help pushing it over the top.

One hundred percent (Yes. 100%!) of the donations to this ride go to the organizations mentioned above. Not only that, the money goes to them immediately, so any amount you donate is helping people the moment you donate it.

Please take a moment to click on the badge below and check out my personal page for the ride. I would greatly appreciate any support you can provide, whether that be in the form of donations, shares or gossip or all of the above. Whatever you can contribute to help the cause would be fantastic. If you’d like to pass on the info, but need an easily remembered URL, I’ve set up a pointer to my personal page using http://johnsledd.com.

Thanks for the read.
