Hello,
My name is Skip and I have this crazy notion of coaxing this 47 year old body to bike 100 miles in Lake Tahoe on June 3rd for a cause that hits very close to home for me and my children. Two years ago my wife of nearly 22 years lost her fight to non-Hodgkins lymphoma. So I signed up as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training to complete the 100-mile endurance bike ride named America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride to raise funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals and their families who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
As the name of the blog indicates--I am no Lance Armstrong. So my journey to the finish line is bound to be humorous at times. I plan on making regular entries here regarding my training for the event, my fund raising activities, a little about me and some info on one special hero named Collin whom my Team In Training is honored to ride for.
I hope you check back often to keep track of my progress. And, if you want to be a part of my team, head to Skip Hines' 2007 Team In Training Page to make a donation. Every donation brings relief to those with blood cancers and the families who support them.
Thanks for your support,
Skip
