Hi Gang.
As a rule, I refuse all requests to pass along solicitations for fundraisers to the Bike Around Long Island group. While most, or all, may be worthy causes, the sheer volume of them could be annoying, to say the least. However, in this case, I've decided to make an exception. The request is from the mother of a young man from Sag Harbor who was killed in Iraq. For anyone who may be curious, and whether you want to participate or not, you might want to check out the Wounded Warrior Project (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/). I've confirmed with that organization that this event is valid. I'll be running our Wading River ride on the same day, but I won't be offended if anyone wants to do The Second Annual Soldier Ride The Hamptons instead.
The message that I received, with additional links, is below.
A heartfelt thanks to the mother of this young man.
George.
