Passionately Pink, Susan G Komen for the Cure

As a great majority of you know, Eddy races motorcycles with the American Federation of Motorcyclists or AFM for short, a California road racing club (http://www.afmracing.org/). The club races about once a month from March to October at three different locations, Infineon Raceway (Sonoma), Thunderhill (Willows) and Buttonwillow Race Park (Buttonwillow). Once a year there is a 4 hour endurance race along with the regular race weekend.

For this year's 4-hour endurance race at Infineon Raceway on 9/27, the team members decided to raise $10,000.00 for "Susan G Komen for the Cure". Simon, Steve and Eddy are all committed to helping end breast cancer forever with their donations and donations from family, friends, co-workers, corporate sponsors, friends of friends, etc.

I am deeply touched by the support from Eddy's fellow racers since I was diagnosed in February. There are always hugs and words of encouragement along with the little pink Cheryl stickers the racers run on their bikes. THANK YOU AFM RACERS!!!

For those of you that would like to be part of our fundraising effort, you can do so by going to Eddy's race website, www.finishesunlimited.net/racing and clicking the link to donate directly to our campaign (it links you to the Susan G Komen website). Not comfortable donating online? You can mail a check to us at 121 Via Hermosa, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. Checks should be made out to "Susan G Komen for the Cure".

Thank you for helping us raise money for Susan G Komen for the Cure.
