Roam if you want to...

The Roam Riders successfully rode in the Bike MS event this weekend through Skagit Valley. It was a gorgeous ride with great people who worked exceedingly hard to raise money to find a cure for MS. One team in particular, "Lyne's Legs," had a novel way of promoting their group: They all stuck Barbie doll legs into their helmets, easily identifying who they were as they rode by. But it wasn't until the second day's lunch when the impact of why they were riding hit us. We saw a beautiful slim woman pass us on an electric wheelchair and head toward the team as they were yelling "Lyne! Lyne! Lyne!" These guys literally served as her legs for the ride.

So recap: The fundraising for the entire event is just $200K short of hitting goal. If you want to help us get there, consider sharing a few coins. It only takes a little bit from a bunch of folks and goals like these can be attained. Thanks to everyone who already supported the Roam Riders! (We did surpass our rookie goal, but hey, I think we can still raise more so donate!
