So, I often refer to "my team," in reference to Stacy's Cycling Supporters. We are a "friends and family" team, according to the MS Society. We aren't sponsored by a corporation that donates money, jerseys, etc., or that ships gear and makes dinner for its riders. We use elbow grease, have a super great volunteer tent captain who rounds up our dinner on Saturday and brings it to Hinckley, and have iron-on decals for our jerseys so that we sort of match. And we raise a lot of money, considering that we have no corporate donors and that we have a few riders younger than 18. Basically, we rock.
But my team is much bigger than that. It consists of all the people who ask how training is going, who wish me luck, and who generously share their hard-earned cash. After my last update I received even more donations to the MS Society in support of both my rides. I'm honored to be the legs, arms, and, well, butt, of all of you. Your vehicle.
Your support is very inspiring and humbling. Thank you so much.
