… Open the Heart.
To my Friends, Family, Fellow Addicts & Fellow Bloggers:
First of all, I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be back in touch and having all of you guys’ support in the days, weeks and months since my sobriety date of November 12, 2007. Thank you for continuing to be there for me. For those of you I haven’t had a chance to speak with, it’s just a matter of time… I know where you live!
For those of you who read my blog and feel a kinship to the process I am going through… read on!
As part of the new life I am trying to create, I am participating in a very special event called the “Red Ribbon Ride.” Proceeds from this ride will be gifted to seven Minnesota-based AIDS service organizations.
July 17-20, 2008 I will take four days out of my life to ride a bicycle nearly 300 miles through the bluffs and beauty of southern Minnesota.
I’ve agreed to raise $1,700 in donations to participate. I need your help. Would you make a tax-deductible donation to help me meet my goal? Check out my personal page, using the link below, and click on “Make a donation to John.” Please keep in mind that not only will I be riding nearly 300 miles over four days, but I’ll be camping in a tent each night!
Over 5,000 Minnesotan’s are living with HIV. And now, more people are living with AIDS worldwide than ever before. In light of that, I felt it was time for me to do something about it. I hope you’ll be a partner with me in this effort.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
