My wife Jennifer recently participated in a week-long charity ride benefiting the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation. Each day, the participants rode several hundred miles in the mountains between Sacramento, California and Reno, Nevada. They solicited pledges prior to the event, and raised many tens of thousands of dollars for research into a cure for breast cancer.

Here is a photo of my wife as she rode by in one of the many small towns they passed through.

While this is a very serious subject, they also have some fun with it while trying to get the word out. Some of the riders were wearing shirts that said "Save the Ta Ta's!" Anybody have any other ideas? I came up with "Rescue the Racks" - but there are bound to be better ones. With all of the creative (and warped) minds on the forum, I'll bet we can come up with a good one. Maybe I'll have some shirts printed with the best one for next year's ride.

Allen,
unfortunatly i have family members who have been hit with this killer. i have made a donation and would like to thank your wife for doing such a good deed.

Guys, if everyone here gave just $10 to this cause it would make a big difference.

Watchgeek -

My wife said to tell you thanks so much for the donation - it is greatly appreciated by those raising the money, and more importantly, by those who can be helped by the research that the donations support.
