Sprained Ankle won't keep me down!!

Hello Friends,

A few updates on the Bike Rally training and fund-raising. I had a little hitch
last Thursday, which has slightly affected my training. I sprained my ankle walking on a lawn at night. I know that doesn't say much about my coordination or athletic abilities, but I assure you that I am taking care of the ankle and it is a thousand times better than it was Thursday or Friday. It looked like someone had implanted a baseball in my ankle, but with careful attention, icing and elevation of the foot, it is now well on the way to being back to normal. I hope within a weeks time, that I will be able to do a moderate ride.

On the fund-raising front, I am so proud and happy to say that I have reached 84% of my fund-raising goal in only 4 weeks! With your generous and kind support, I have raised $2925.00 and believe that the Support will continue to pour in, and that I will surpass the original $3500.00 goal I had set. I have realized through this process, the amazing kindness of friends, strangers and family. Truly, from my heart, I would like to say Thank you. To have your Support means a great deal to me and you can only imagine what this means for those who will benefit from your donations. You are all stars in my eyes and rock my world!

Thank you with Gratitude!
Alex
