It might be a midlife crisis, or just a health kick, but i've been looking for new ways to challenge myself.  After all, there's nothing like an event to give you extra motivation to train.  As i'm entering the last year of my 30s, I'm hoping to stay physically healthy so i can keep after my little bundle of energy, and also set a good example for her.  I want her to know that it's important to prioritize an active lifestyle, and to know that being strong is beautiful.

so my next adventure and challenge? (assuming i'm still alive after the spartan beast in September) is the Tour de Fuzz. They raise money for two very special police chaplaincy programs. Both locally and nationwide, Tour de Fuzz's two nonprofit benefactors are on the cutting edge of this much needed community service and I've committed to raising $125 for all the good they do. Please support me!

Sonoma County's Law Enforcement Chaplaincy may be the best police chaplaincy program nationwide.  24/7/365, and at no cost, they respond with the police directly to scenes of tragedy and loss. Their all-volunteer, compassion-centric "Sonoma Model"  is unique, and The Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Foundation is out to spread it nationwide.

This year The Foundation wants to GIVE all police chaplains across the country free membership to their private online learning and social networking community.  It's a nationwide vision to increase chaplain performance and resiliency, and I'm riding to help make that happen. 

Please support me and my epic ride. You'll be helping me make a real difference, and all donations are fully tax deductable to the extent allowed by law.
