Dr. Rick Davies is traveling to Israel on a fund raising adventure!

He is going to participate in the Wheels of Love Challenge, a cycling event that will raise money for the ALYN Children’s hospital in Jerusalem.

"I will be doing their "Challenge" (longest) route - about 420 miles in 5 days finishing with a long climb (2500 feet over the last 30 miles) back to Jerusalem. I am writing to ask if you will sponsor me in riding to support this worthy cause. The American Friends of Alyn Hospital have set up a web site to make this as easy as possible."

Please click the Wheels of Love link to support me on the charity bike tour. The event begins on November 9 and ends November 13, 2008. Donations are tax deductable. Thank you in advance for helping me.

So be sure to stop by this Thursday night and chat in the Kendo/Karate room, on the first floor.
