I am currently training for a 125 mile bicycle trek to be held this September to benefit the American Lung Association. The trek will take us from Seattle, Wa through the San Juan islands into Canada and back to Seattle. This is a terrific opportunity to participate in an extremely entertaining bike trip while at the same time raising money for a very worthwhile cause. I would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested in this trek to come and ride with us and I will pledge a reciprocal amount to the first five people who contact me in response to this article. If you are interested in this event you should get in touch with the American Lung Assoc of Washington, (206-282-5565). The trek costs $25 which covers all breakfasts and dinners, a sag wagon, all ferry fares and sleeping accomadations the first night and a super spot to pitch a tent the second night. All trekkers are expected to raise a minimum of $250 in pledges prior to the ride (this is actually easy to do). Hope to see you on the trek. s m fordyce p. s. If this sounds like a worthwhile cause but you aren't interested in participating please consider pledging me a tax deductible contribution to the American Lung Association. Just send me your name, address and pledge amount (no money please) and the ALA will get back to you. Thanks. -- Scot M. Fordyce - Boeing Aerospace - Seattle - ..fluke!microsof!ssc-vax!smf

How do you get pledges? If it really is easy, this sounds like a nice way to raise money for good causes. Tell us more about how it's organized.
