So they gave out one of these medals to everyone who completed the first 75 miles of the MS150 City to Shore bike ride on Saturday, which included the two of us. (City to shore being from the suburbs of Philly to Ocean City New Jersey.) If it hadn't been for Donna, I probably wouldn't have done it this year.
That would have been a shame. It was a beautiful day for cycling, and the view of the ocean as we barreled into Ocean City was spectacular. An offshore storm had the waves rolling up to the size of mountains. The sky -- pardon the cliche -- was truly alabaster. Later we met up with old friends we'd unexpectedly met along the way, and bought Kohr Brother's frozen custard on the boardwalk.
And all for a good cause, research into Multiple Sclerosis. So many of the participants, and the hard working volunteers who supported them, know someone who is suffering from MS. The irony of being able to exult in physical activity on their behalf lurked over the day's activities.

Awesome job! I love the new design - fall inspired.
Keep up the great work.
Good for you for persevering. Sometimes its other's motivation that drives us to excel.
Congrats to the both of you!! You did a good thing for a very important cause. Some of my co-workers have done fundraising for MS research. It's such an important cause to support.
My one daughter is always in some run or another for some cause and they get T-shirts. Some of really nice. They must buy them and that helps the cause too. I don't think I have ever seen a medal.
CONRATS!!!
