Hello friends!
It’s great to be back working on getting ready for Biking for Babies 2011! Thank you once again to everyone who has helped support the pro-life cause through B4B in the past whether it has been through financial support, prayers, lodging, media contacts, etc.
We hope that, with the increased magnitude of the ride this year, that we can provide a further increase in awareness and financial aide to the pro-life movement.
This summer, four of us–Jimmy Becker, Eric Johannigmeier, Stacy Hague, and myself–will ride the entire distance from New Orleans, Louisiana to the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois in just 7 days–totaling 870 miles, or about 125 miles each day.
Proceeds will go towards the on-going pro-life efforts of Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center and Students for Life of Illinois–both located in Champaign. We will also be riding for another pregnancy resource center that is being built in Wisconsin–A Women’s Care Center.
Training on the bike commenced for myself this past weekend (compared to a usual schedule composed of just running and lifting)–riding 180 miles from Champaign to my home in Freeburg, Illinois. It was pretty exhausting! It took me just over 10 hours and 11000 calories! Phew.
Please continue to help the pro-life cause through whatever way you can–keep the ride and the riders in your prayers as our training continues to build up for our summer ride!
Stay tuned for videos, the other riders’ training blogs, ordering t-shirt info and other important B4B information!
