Friends,

Fundraising is one of my least favorite things.  however, most of you know how much I love working at Trek and supporting company goals and cultural values is extremely important to me.  Therefore once a year, I am going to ask for your help in supporting the Trek 100 Ride.

This year the ride is virtual, I encourage you to sign up yourself!  (Be warned, next year, I will asking you to sign up and attend this great ride!) This ride normally starts at Trek HQ in Waterloo, Wisconsin.  The countryside is beautiful and the rolling hills make for a great ride! 

The Trek 100 is a fundraiser ride for the MACC Fund, which directs its efforts to finding a cure for childhood cancer.  This year is the 30th Annual Trek 100 bike ride on August 22nd. The MACC Fund has contributed almost $70 million to pediatric cancer research since 1976 and has played an important role in raising the overall cure rate for childhood cancer from 20% to 80% in that time. 

This year is more imporantant than ever.  All of the fundraising events for the MACC Fund have been cancelled.  The Trek 100 is their biggest event, and this year may be their only event!

Please consider supporting my efforts as I ride to find a cure for childhood cancers and related blood disorders.  To sweeten the deal, I am going to give a Trek sticker pack to anyone that donates $20 or more.  Any amount is appriciated though, and if you donate anything, I'll buy you a beer the next time we are hanging out!
