On Friday evening, I watched the "Stand Up to Cancer" special on television. Without commercial interruption, this hour-long program ran simultaneously on the three major networks. With a balanced mix of celebrities and average citizens, the program was informative, moving, and provided an additional "shot in the arm" to my own fund-raising efforts!
After I've spent the last few months in pursuit of my goal of cycling 1,000 miles in 2008, it has become a little disorienting now that I've reached and surpassed that milestone. To keep myself motivated, I've decided to set some new "mini goals" for myself, as follows:
Goal #2 = 1,100 miles for 2008 = 64.1 miles to go
Goal #3 = 2,000 miles in 2007 and 2008 = 81.8 miles to go
Goal #4 = 4 days (96 hrs) on the bike = 15.75 hours to go
Goal #5 = 1,250 miles for 2008 = 214.1 miles to go
Goal #6 = 1,500 miles for 2008 = 464.1 miles to go
Goals 2 and 3 will be achieved in late-September. Goals 4 and 5 are more challenging, but are still achievable by season's end. Goal 6 is less likely, but who knows? When the year first started, I didn't think I'd be cycling 1,000 miles by September 1st, either. Stay tuned.

"One for All" is the name of my grassroots fundraising project that raises money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and the 12 million people in this country (and the 28 million people around the world) who are living with, through, or beyond cancer.
