HI!

My name is Sadie (not Marley even though people are constantly telling me we look alike!) and I am the owner of Dan who has finally agreed to take me on the East Coast Greenway Trail System from Annapolis, MD to Portland, ME!  This trip will cover approximately 850 miles of the trail!

The trip will take me about three weeks (click on the picture of my itnerary at left).  Once I em"bark" on the journey, I will have Dan update MY BLOG daily with news and photos of the trail.  I know you won't be able to be with me in person throughout the trip, but check back here regularly to participate in my adventure. 

Here's an important way for YOU to participate - please go to the SPONSOR ME NOW button above or below and make a donation to the ECG.  I would appreciate and welcome ANY amount.  For example, you might consider making a donation based on the number of miles I am travelling ($.01, $.02, $.05, $.10 per mile - you get the picture!!) or you might be more comfortable donating a lump sum.   Feel free to get creative!  Remember, your donation is tax deductable. 

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.  However, if you would prefer to donate by check, please make your check payable to the East Coast Greenway Alliance and mail it to 27 North Road, Wakefield, RI 02879.  Please put my name, Sadie, on the memo line. 

Also, special thanks to:

  • Sun Bicycles for donating the EZ Sport CX recumbent bicycle that Dan will use to take me on my trip
  • Rod at Severna Park, MD Pedal Pushers for taking care of all our service needs 
  • Solvit Products for the fabulous limousine (trailer) that will help me travel in style and for the largest cash donation to date
  • Paws Pet Boutique  on State Circle in Annapolis for their fabulous gifts to make me beautiful and for all those yummy snacks!

We couldn't do it without you!!!! (See photos at the left)

Many thanks for your support -- and please take some time to go to www.greenway.org to learn more about the East Coast Greenway Alliance and forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! 

Thanks so much and don't forget to check back often!

Sadie (and Dan)
