We need your help!

My best friend really needs your help!

Pelotonia is a grass roots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. It is a cycling experience that will take place August 28th-30th. The ride will span two days and will cover as many as 180 miles. I am writing to ask you to help me reach the fundraising goal. Large or small, every donation makes a difference. Thanks to NetJets' transformational gift, 100% of every donation will fund essential research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. By supporting Pelotonia, you will help improve lives through innovations in research with the ultimate goal of winning the war against cancer. I would love for you to support Peletonia in this inaugural year. This truly is a unique opportunity to be a part of something special.

When you follow the link below, you will find her rider profile and a simple and secure way to make any size donation you wish.

Think of this as a donation not to her, or me, or Pelotonia, but directly to The James. Please consider supporting the effort and this great cause. Here is the link to her rider profile: http://www.pelotonia.org/ride/riders_profile.jsp?MemberID=4101&RiderName=Sadie%20Deckard

Thanks again!

P.S. I will personally match the largest single donation (up to $1000). Give as much as you can! You know I'd rather give to this cause than to be half way toward a Zipp wheelset.
