Another Great "fun ride" but this one hits close to home

I am taking advantage of all the hits on the blog to promote a great cause...
The Cycle for Life 2006 for Stroke education is being held on Saturday, Oct 14th at the Hanover Park Vineyard, Yadkinville, NC.
The “Cycle for Life...2006” offers the choice of a 25, 40, or 65 mile route through the Yadkin River Valley wine country. This ride strikes close to home because my boyfriend, Chris Sheehan, a.k.a big time "FUN RIDER" and a Blowing Rock resident, had a massive stroke at the age of 29 that should have killed him. He was one of the lucky ones who have recovered completely. Chris spent 6 weeks in the hospital, was forced to relearn to walk and spent 9 months in speech therapy. Nationally, there are approximately four million stroke survivors of whom two-thirds are moderately or severely disabled.

Last year was his first year to support the ride. It was a fantastic ride that helps many. If you are interested in riding with us or supporting the cause visit the NC Stroke Association web site. If you are unable to attend but still want to support the cause you can make a donation BUT we hope you are able to come ride with us.

Here is a picture from last years ride.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions regarding the stroke ride, contact Chris at sheehan@mac.com
