I'll ride -- will you Pledge or Donate?

This cross-country ride is both the fulfillment of a dream for me, and a way to support a worthy cause. I'm asking you to pledge or donate to the cause! And remember, every penny goes to the Panhandle Alliance for Education, in support of their early childhood literacy programs.

Pledge now. Want to give me a little incentive to make the whole ride? Then make a pledge per mile based on how far I make it! I’m crisscrossing the country, and my route may change once I’m on the road, but the maximum pledge is for 10,000 miles. Will you chip in a penny a mile? That’s only $100. Or go more: how about a nickel, dime or dollar a mile? It all goes to help give kids a good start in life. Click to pledge now.

Collect pledges. If you want to dun a few friends and family to make some pledges too, here’s a pledge form to sign them up. Click to download pledge form.

Donate right now. Why wait? Kick in some money right now for the cause:

Donations are usually tax deductible, but check with your financial advisor. Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE) is a non-profit organization recognized by the IRS in Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (Tax ID # 61-1416176). A copy of PAFE's annual report may be obtained from our website PanhandleAlliance.org.

THANK YOU for pledging or donating. Please be sure to check back on my blog as I post updates on my progress.
