Ride and Pledge

Jerry bikes a lot … on average, more than 3000 miles per year. He has biked across the country, the northern half of the Mississippi River, throughout most of the states of the MidWest, in Ireland and Switzerland and back and forth to work about 9 months of every year. He has been a biking “enthusiast” since the early 1970s. Against this backdrop, we in Rotary are combining this great activity with an opportunity to make a per mile pledge for the year 2013 with the proceeds going to fund ongoing Rotary activities. We will keep you advised of the miles Jerry accumulates in 2013 and the places he goes (with pictures). His mileage goal for this year is 3500 miles. Jerry himself has pledged $.05/mile with no maximum amount. The more he bikes, the more support he gives to Rotary.



WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT ROTARY BY PLEDGING MCADOW MILES.



July 27, 2012


I am at 1,410 miles to date!  On August 24th, I am leaving for a bike trip around Lake Michigan that will last between 10-12 days.  I'll ride in Rain or Shine and I'm planning to get 800 miles on this trip.

The members of my Rotary Club have been very generous.  Our total pledges as of today are $2,840.  I am so close to the goal of $3,000.  Please pass the word and try to have others pledge so we can exceed the goal.

I will be sending photos and comments on my journey around Lake Michigan.  Stay tuned!
