Getting Started

Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m very excited about my upcoming bike ride challenge for the Hershey’s Tour de Pink! The reason I chose this particular event was 100% of all donations go to the Young Survival Coalition (YSC). The YSC is dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women, under the age of 40, and breast cancer. YSC works with survivors, caregivers and the medical, research, advocacy and legislative communities to increase the quality and length of life for women diagnosed with breast cancer. So to help bring awareness to young women like myself, I have pledged to raise a minimum of $500.00 for the YSC and ride 220 miles in the month of September. If you would like to help make a difference, please donate to this worthwhile cause. Please visit: http://www.active.com/donate/hersheystourdepinkVR/ABenson99 and make a tax deductible contribution online.

Currently I'm hard at work training to be able to complete two 25-40 mile bike rides each weekend in order to complete all 220 miles by September 27th. Check back over the next few weeks to read updates on my training rides! During the month of September I will blog about each of my rides and let you know how far I have gone.

Be sure to spread the word!
Amanda
