My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Reid was my godchild, nephew and the nicest young man that you would ever want to meet.  He was my baby sister's oldest son.  He was the same age as my oldest daugher, Meredith and his brother, Weston, is the same age as my youngest daughter,Jane.  Our children were more like brothers and sisters then cousins.    Reid battled cancer for two years and on April 16, 2005 we lost a very special part of our lives.  The closeness that brought us such happiness now brings us feelings of emptiness.  There continues to be a void in our lives and sadness to our celebrations. 

Reid was someone that once you met him you would never forget him.  I was always so proud of him.  He was caring, giving, loving, intelligent, a lover of life and always there to help in any way.  He had a smile that could brighten your day and a special way of making you laugh.  I can always picture his little smirk and hear his wonderful giggle.  He truly was a special being.   He was and will always be  a special part of my life.   

For Reid and his dream to find a cure, I am committed to ride the 28 mile bike-a-thon.  Last year I completed the ride for the first time.  It felt great!  I am asking you to support me so I can reach my goal of raising $5,000!  More importantly, so we can reach the ultimate goal of never having to watch someone you love fight the battle that Reid fought. 

 Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
