TMG-L members, Many of you use my donorware program TMG Utility (TMGU) and have made a donation to support my continued development and technical support of the program. This is just an FYI: this weekend is when my daughters and I are riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), the two-day, 192-mile bicycle ride across Massachusetts to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I've been training and I think I am ready, but even when in shape (sorta), it's a long ride and things get sore. Like neck muscles. And hands. And legs. But mostly the part I put on the seat! Then, after riding 110 miles the first day, we get back on the bikes the next day and do 82 more. Our PMC team has a "Pedal Partner", a 3-year old girl named Belle who has Metastatic Rhabdomyosarcoma, Stage 4. She's had chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and she's had a very rough time. We were ecstatic to find out this week that Belle feels well enough for her parents to bring her to one of our water stops to say hello during our ride! That's a lot of motivation for us! If you are in New England, you might catch the opening ceremonies on WCVB (channel 5) on Friday night, July 31st, at 7pm. John
Have fun John. Makes me tired just thinking about you.
