Big Ride

So I have a big ride to do now - 100 miles. The last time I did a 100 mile ride was 16 years ago when I was going through chemo, It’s about time I did another one!! The ride is from Columbus to Athens. I wanted to participate last year, but just wasn’t that motivated. But now I am, so here we go. Each rider has to raise $1500. To raise the money I will be selling the HOPE dolls through my Etsy store and on Ebay in addition to asking for donations. So please consider making a donation or buying a doll to help find a cure.

My husband took this picture of Lance Armstrong last summer when the Pelotonia ride came to town. Now he will have to take a picture of me, only I will be easier to capture because I won’t be going nearly as fast.

To make a donation go to:

To buy a doll go to my Etsy store

Hope Girls

The dolls are up and listed on Etsy. The next order of business is to get the word out. Below is the "word", spread it however you can.

************************************

HOPE dolls were created to inspire and remind those living with cancer and their loved ones that there is always hope.

With these HOPE dolls, I am launching a "campaign" to raise money for cancer research. Research is what saves lives, including my own. I myself was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease in 1993. I went through 8 months of chemo and have been cancer free for almost 16 years. But more research needs to be done, until we find a cure.

From now until October 2010, 100% of each sale from Danner's Place will be donated to Pelotonia. Every dollar raised by Pelotonia and its riders goes directly to fund cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

For more info about the dolls and my Pelotonia experience (a 100 mile bike ride in August) check out these pages:

I hope that you'll consider making a donation to my ride or purchasing a doll in memory of or in support of someone affected by cancer.

Each sale will come with a card telling you how much money you donated to Pelotonia. You will also be able to follow your donation directly to the Pelotonia web site. When you purchase a doll, I will send a link to the Pelotonia donation page where you will find your name listed and the amount of your donation.
