Parting is such sweet sorrow

Well, the first donations in honor of Aisha Hunkar have been made or pledged so thank you all for that! I hope to reach my Fundraising goal and honor her memory in that way as well, not “just” on the bike.
Riding the bike is going as planned, not progressing fast enough to my liking but I’m getting there, one step at a time. I will be able to do the mileage my doc will allow me to, even if it feels like I did 100 mile afterwards. I don’t care about it putting me in the wheelchair for a few days, it will be worth it.
 
One thing not going to well is saving up enough money for the flight and my stay there. Don’t worry, I won’t use any money that is donated to my Challenge in honor of Aisha but I have to find a way to make money quickly and I found it.
 
I am the proud owner of a commemorative Discovery Tour de France shirt, autographed by Lance. It is my price possession and the only thing that will make some money  when I sell it and that is exactly what I decided to do. I won’t be happy to see it go but if it gets me to Austin so I can keep my promises to Aisha and her family it will be totally worth it. You will understand I won’t sell it for less than the amount I need to go to Austin (and stay there), but I hope giving up this shirt will get me where I need to be. Please help me reach my goal and tell people about this one in a kind shirt and keep your fingers crossed I will be able to sell it.
 
I’ll do what I can to fulfill my promise but I can’t do it alone!
