Virtual Riders?
Do you think we should do more to encourage the "Virtual Rider" part of the R4R program? It would require folks to go out and solicit donations in their own communities of at least $100, but it would allow them to take an even more active role in raising funds for the R4R. However, it would also open up the opportunity for fraud, and would require people to share RL information, which many Second Life residents are not up to doing.
How do you feel about this? Should we make Virtual Ridership a bigger part of our Second Life fundraising, or should we keep things as they are?
Thanks,
Paul/Aaron

Official Ride Recognition!
The Ride Staff will soon be adding your teams story as a legitimate fundraising initiative which is occurring in the second life. As one of the official Co-Chairs for the Ride for Roswell I am very excited about what your team is doing and am willing to help out in any way to help with your success. If anyone in the second life would like to send me a direct message related to the ride please let me know. Every year I look forward to seeing Michael and his beautiful daughter at the ride events. It is stories like his wife's that keeps me wanting to fight the fight.

About
About The Ride
The Ride is a year-round fundraising program for the Institute that culminates in a celebratory cycling event every June. It is a safe and healthy day of cycling fun for riders, teams, cancer survivors, and supporters.
The Ride For Roswell offers a distance for any type of rider. Participants can choose to ride from eight routes this year! Either choose a traditional route that starts from Baird Point -- the 100-mile, 62.5-mile, 44-mile, 33-mile, 30-mile, 20-mile, 8-mile routes or The 3-mile Family Fun Route-- You can also join the Extra Mile Club Peloton: only 12-miles from Roswell Park to UB.
If you can't ride that day or want to simply fundraise and join us at the picnic, become a virtual rider!
