At the beginning of the ride the fundraiser stood at a bit over $5000. The week after I got back it topped $10,000. When I thought of trying to raise $10,000 I knew I�d be able to get some donations from riders but I thought it could only be accomplished if I got larger donations from the motorcycle industry. Only one Triumph dealer and one motorcycle related business made donations. And of the email and bulletin board type lists it was put on, the members of one list accounted for nearly all of the support received from riders. The Triumph Sprint listserver members donated almost $7000, which included one very generous rider who pledged 10 cents a mile ($1023) and pledged a 50% match of what the riders donated (but was even more generous in that what he made a was a 50% match of what had been raised by the start of the ride, whether Sprint riders or not). I cannot express enough my appreciation to this group who talked it up on the list and encouraged and challenged others to make donations to support the fight against cancer. I had a successful 10 day, 10,000 mile ride, but those who gave donations made the $10,000 fundraiser for ACS a success. I was just (pun fully intended) the vehicle for them to donate.
