We get to ride...While others wait

Dear TDL RAAM Riders,

For RAAM 2007, each of you will be given the wonderful opportunity, if you choose, to ride across the country in honor of an individual who is waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.

Believe it or not, to them you are The Heroes - that you would take the time to ride across the country to raise awareness for them. I suspect you see it just the opposite - THEY are The Heroes, ones who have been waiting weeks, months or even years to receive the miracle of life offered through transplantation.

In the next couple of weeks we will be receiving names, photos, locations and contact information for those willing to be “honored” by TDL before, during and after the race. You will have the opportunity to correspond with them and perhaps even meet them as you roll through their area.

Certainly, it is not required of you to participate. If you are interested, we would like to hear from you! We hope, in the next couple of weeks, to match you with someone out there across America whose life would be greatly enriched by one of YOU riding in their honor.

Please respond to me by April 2nd if you would like to participate in this opportunity.

Kent
