Post from the car where our protagonist shares photo of taxidermy and focuses on fundraising rather than her failure to physically prepare herself for long-distance bike rides.

Let’s be clear.

I am blatantly stealing from McSweeney's. Riding a bike is fun. I know some people will argue with this statement, but I dare you to stand with me and repost this.

Riding a bike to fight MS is a worthy cause.

These are my values. I have declined to do other bike rides that conflict with the dates of the Bike MS rides because they conflicted. These are my beliefs. Donating to the MS Society directly will impact those affected by MS.

More than 2.3 million people are affected by MS. Of course, they do not all live in my neighborhood, nor are they all family members or close friends, but I believe that as members of an interconnected society, bound by the social compact under which we all live, I am obligated to help. Through riding. And you can help.

Your donation is an easy way to make an impact. You are an important piece of the puzzle, and kudos to me for reminding you.

We are amazing.
