OT: My Daughter Is Riding 100 Miles this Weekend to Raise $$$ for Cancer Research - CARDS FOR A CURE

My 18-year old daughter Hilary was diagnosed with childhood arthritis several years ago. Despite the challenges that she lives with from this
condition, she has spent the last 4 months training to ride a bicycle 100 miles this coming weekend in a local event named "Peletonia", which
occurs every year in Columbus, Ohio with the goal of raising money for cancer research to find a cure for this awful disease.

All the money raised for the event goes to research to find a cure.

So far, Hilary has raised just over $1000 on her own through solicitations and running several local events (including 1 she called "Corn Hole
for a Cause"). Her goal is to exceed $1400 in donations.

I thought I would reach out here in hopes that some of you may be able to help her get closer to her target. Any help is much appreciated,
and also tax deductible.

The link for making donations is:

Thanks in advance for your understanding of this OT post, and for any support that helps her reach her goal!

    Hey, my wife is making that ride also. But she is doing the 50 mile ride. I'm very proud of her and your daughter for not talking about change, but actually doing something about it! Tell her we are all proud of her! 👍👍👍
