Loni's Life

As friends and family know, I enjoy cycling for exercise and stress relief.. and if I can help a few of my favorite charities along the way, that's a pretty good combination. Here's the fall lineup of 3 charity cycling events and 1 walk event.. your tax-deductible charitable donation is greatly appreciated ~ no amount is too small or too large. Sept 12- Tour De Cure DFW - American Diabetes Association - 32 mile bike tour Oct 3 - Make A Wish Foundation North Texas - 30 miles bike tour Oct 24 - Memory Walk Allen --> Alzheimer's Association - 3 mile walk Oct 25 -- Livestrong Challenge Austin --> Unite to wipe out Cancer!!! - 20 miles in Austin Hill Country

We had an absolutely GORGEOUS day for a Memory Walk to support the Alzheimer's Association. While I have been very blessed to not have anyone in my family stricken with this disease, my College Mom Cheryl has lost both her parents to it ~ so she had asked me to find a charity cycling event for the benefit of Alzheimer's, but I didn't find one.. instead, I found a Memory Walk practically in our own backyard, so I signed up for that and invited my TOPS Chapter to join in as well. Those that officially joined the team online were Cheryl, Mina, Janet, Mary, Phyllis (plus her granddaughter Darrian), Diana, and myself. We didn't see Mary today; but we were also joined by Mina's hubby and fur-baby Sammy. Together the team has raised over $1000 for the Alzheimer's Association! You can still make a secure, tax-deductible donation to my Memory Walk at https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=274342&lis=1&kntae274342=8D70AA1921814A04B563E1AD35C7D...
