Congratulations to my husband, and all the other riders that completed the Bike to the Bay Ride for MS this past weekend.
I am particularly proud of my husband as this was his 10th year riding and raising money for MS. He has ridden over 1500 miles and without fail participates in this ride every year whether or not he has had time to fully "train" the way he would like to. It seems like every year he runs short on his time to practice and train for the upcoming event - but that does not stop him from moving forward and giving it his all.
In fact this year he set a new goal for his fundraising effort and exceeded his goal. Though he waited until the last possible moment to start his fundraising, he was still very successful and we would like to thank all of our friends, family, neighbors and co-workers that contributed. MANY THANKS!
One more thing - my husband does this, for MS, though we have not personally been touched by this disease. He does this not because he has had first hand experience but because he believes in the cause and he truly believes in taking his passion for biking and putting it to work for something that does so much good for others.
Isn't that something? It goes to show that when you are passionate about something that you think you only do for yourself, you can still help others. My husband bikes for the thrill, the miles, the speed - but he also bikes, along with thousands of others for a cure.
I am proud to have married such a man!
What things are you passionate about that you think you only do for yourself? Have you ever thought about taking that passion in a new direction?

Horray for your husband!
I am passionate about empowering women and stopping domestic violence. That is why, starting this year, I am giving 10% of my Mary Kay sales to the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter, and 10% of the profits of Take The Time: Image Matters! to Suitably Attired.
Unlike your husband, I don't get any excercise doing this, but it sure makes me feel good!
I am passionate about helping people. My business is about helping people feel better about their home, office and life.
In August I will be heading to Guatemala to help build some homes for those in need with Habitat For Humanity. Fundraising efforts have just begun. I am so excited about this adventure!
Welcome to the bloggin' world!
