Jeff Linder's Ride
Ride Less, Raise More
I hope you will help me meet my goal to raise $10,000.
On August 3-5, 2012, I will ride from Newton to Sturbridge to Provincetown. It is a very long bike ride. However, more important toward my goal is your contribution. If you are a previous contributor, I hope you will give a bit more. If you are a new contributor, I hope you will give generously.
As before, I'm putting my money where my bicycle is. With this matching program, you can make me pay to ride my bike*:
- If you gave last year, I will match each additional dollar you give over last year's contribution.
- If you are a new donor, I will match each dollar over $50 that you give.
I am honored to be riding with Team Kermit. Steve, Ellen, Adam, and Jared Branfman, along with friends, formed Team Kermit after Jared was diagnosed with spinal and cranial tumors in 2003. Jared worked as a volunteer for the Pan Mass Challenge in 2004 and 2005 and was getting set to ride in 2006. Jared died September 27, 2005. He was 23 years old.
Kermit, one of Jared's favorite childhood characters, represents the ability people have to rise above the ordinary to achieve great results. Team Kermit is raising money for the Jared Branfman Sunflowers for Life Fund for Pediatric Brain and Spinal Cancer Research at the Jimmy Fund, which supports the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
I will probably still wind up riding a lot of miles this year, but that is not the goal.
Thank you for your generous support.
- Jeff
*Up to $750, an amount carefully chosen to maintain marital harmony. (Idea stolen from Cliff Brown. In 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 I contributed the full $750.)
