And so it begins!

Hey all!

Welcome to my blog. This will be where I will post my triumphs, my setbacks, my frustrations, my hurdles, and my adventures as I prepare for the journey of a lifetime. I hope you enjoy my ramblings!

To get you all up to speed: My fundraising campaign is in full swing, and I have begun to step up my gym attendance in the hopes of preparing my out-of-shape frame for the daunting task of pedaling 2,000 km in a couple of months.

Essentially, I hope to rake in millions in donations and become ripped in the span of 60 days! (No, not really, but one can dream!)

In a nutshell, I have been to a total of 3 spin classes, and I think I upped my gym attendance from 1 day a week to 2. Hmm... I think I need to get a little more serious about that part.

In terms of the fundraising - it's coming along! I've already got the moral support of so many great people - it's convincing them to part with their hard-earned dollars during an economic downturn that's the hard part. Wish me luck!

I'll try to keep this blog as up-to-date as I can, and I will be sure to add photos and links as I continue in my preparations. In the meantime, if you are yearning for some more info, check out http://www.otesha.ca. If you're rearing to donate and can't wait to plunk down your plastic, then head on over to my personal fundraising page at http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=2950!

As they say at Otesha,

Peace and bicycle grease :)
