Ladies and Gentlemen

It's the time again, During the month of September I ride to help raise awareness and donations for children's cancer research. This is my 3rd year. This year I have pledged to ride 150 miles. I am posting this here to ask for donations to support my ride, even if you can't offer $$ support give me a thumbs up to show me you believe in what I'm doing, it helps me keep going to know people are out there and can get behind the idea of helping these kids that are struggling with the fight and battling cancer. And remember I'm doing all this on my Unicycle 

Every little bit can make a difference

I think this is a great thing you do. A few years back I got vertigo really bad and got diagnosed with Meniere's so I can't do the unicycling like I used to. I still have all of my Unis but it kills me that I can't ride.

Very cool!  😎 

150 miles without worry of ballast, lean-out angle or toe in.   All the sudden one wheel makes a whole lot of sense.

Hope this is an epic year for you. 🍻

Scott and Miles, Thank you so much. Being as I just retired I'm hoping I can pull off the 150 and then some but it's still pretty hot around here so I have to be careful and keep the rides early in the mornings.

Do you get extra bonus mileage points if you ride through the coffee kiosk drive through?  😎

Side note:  I didn't realize you retired.  Congratulations!  Retirement is awesome. 🤩

Hi all

Just an update on my challenge. I have ridden 78 miles in the first 10 days and have 1628.00 in donations. I'm a little over half way to my mileage goal and well over my donation goal. 

I want to Thank everyone again that has donated and remind others that I'm riding for the entire month of September to raise awareness and money for the kids that are battling cancer. 

Every Dollar makes a difference

Hi all

just wanted to give a final update on my challenge this year. I did complete the 150 miles I had pledged, Barely,,,

I didn't get to ride the entire last week due to Hurricane/ tropical storm tearing through. we were without power for 4 days here, but we were lucky with very little damage to our home.

We raised 1665.00

Thanks to all the Wonderful and caring people that donated on my behalf.
