    Mailboxes Etc.

    By Bob Lee

    I ended the last blog with just one mailbox asking for suggestion and action plans how we all can make a difference to accomplish the generous $65,000 CHALLENGE MATCH FUND offered by Quicken Loans and the Hulinas and Collins.

    03_20070504_031316_amThis blog does not have enough mailboxes for me to say THANK YOU to so many of you who have played such an important role in making this RIDE so much more than a ride. 

    This has been a building block of goodness, of good people doing good things to make a difference for everyone’s future. I have been overwhelmed with the dedication of  so so many people who have given their time, talents, and donations to make A RIDE FOR 3 REASONS exceed all expectations.  I can’t thank you enough.

    Anne gave me a little book of quotes, which I have carried with me for 6,500 mile.  I would like to share a few.

    “You will rise by lifting others.” 
    --Many of you should grab a weight so you don’t float away.

    “Love cures people – Both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.”
    --Let’s hope that our love will cure many.
    ...

    “To the world, you are one person but to one person, you might be the world.” 
    --You are the world to me.

    “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” 
    --This RIDE has taught me more than ever the importance of purpose and passion.

    “Time is such a precious gift.  It is only given to us moment by moment.” 
    --How many times have I said, “What are we doing to do with the rest of our life.”  To really get the sensitivity of this saying, please go to the website www.askaboutaimee.com

    “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” 
    --Let’s dream of a world free of ALS and Cancer in which we all can die in peace.

    “Every tomorrow is a vision of hope.”
    --Even though the RIDE is coming to an end I hope we have many tomorrows.

    If you get a chance, please fill up other people’s mailboxes with our website.  Remember with the $65,000 match offer means donations will be doubled.
