fun day at the aidswalk+ride!

My family had a great time at the 14th annual AIDSWALK+RIDE yesterday. It was lots of hard work, but lots of fun. The News & Observer had nice coverage of the event ... and a great cover image of my husband!

Team Sickles raised over $500 for the Alliance of AIDS Services - Carolina, which made us very proud. The mister rode the 60-mile route, and me and the little Wonder worked from sunup (4:30 am) through clean up (6:30 pm).

We can't wait for next year!

What a great day at the 14th Annual AIDSWALK+RIDE. Got there early and helped set up. Also helped at the DownTown Raleigh tent. What a sight to see 135 bikers heading out for a 30,60 or 103 mile ride. Over 500 walkers took part in the 1 or 3 mile trail. So many teams all in their colorful t-shirts proudly announcing the name of their organization. What a wonderful feeling to see so many giving their time, money and talent for a very worthy cause. Continue to pray for a cure!

I am certain your efforts to help will be appreciated.

Me, too, Crocus. On the weekends, we don't go anywhere unless we can get there by bike, so our usual treks are 10 - 13 miles ... so the thought of 60 makes my tail hurt. ;)

Sounds fun except for the 60 mile thing and the 4:30am. ;) I'm under-caffeinated right now so getting to the kitchen is an effort. :)
