Hi.  Tomorrow will be a difficult anniversary for many of us.  Everyone will have their own way to deal (or not deal) with their memories of that day, and as I thought about how I might want to spend my time, I decided it should be doing something concrete and life-affirming.  So tomorrow I’m participating in a stationary-bike ride to raise money to help the poorest women, many of them widowed, in Afghanistan.  I’m raising money for “Beyond the Bike” – a foundation started by two Boston women who lost their husbands on 9/11.

Here’s a short video about Beyond the Bike.

In a very short time my generous friends have helped me raise almost $1,400 for this cause, but I still have a bit to go to reach my goal of $2,000.  If you feel moved, please take a look at my donation page and consider helping in this effort.  Thank you.
