Ride to Conquer Cancer

Taking the lead from Of No Import, I've decided to do my part to fund raise for cancer research this year. Aside from Weekend to End Breast Cancer, the Ride to Conquer Cancer is the other annual monolithic cancer research event. The two main differences are that the Ride to Conquer Cancer is a bike ride (not a walk) and that funds will go towards fighting all types of cancer (and not just breast cancer).

I'm doing the Ride to Conquer Cancer with a small team of my co-workers, including a "veteran" who has done many WEBC's and last year's RCC. She is a fund-raising machine, and the rest of our team is looking to her for guidance because... you have to raise $2500 per rider. Yes, I also balked at that requirement! It's going to be a tough feat to raise that much money, especially since most of my friends now live in Mortgageville and New Babytown.

Not all hope is lost though... I've got some creative plans for fund-raising activities. I've also got some fund-raising experience from my dragon boat days. My RCC teammates and I will collaborate and pool our collective resources together. Most of all, I have a strong suspicion that the people at my workplace will be very receptive to my efforts to fund-raise for cancer research. Just call it a hunch...
