Deerfield ‘80 Supports Spencer
Friday, October 17th, 2008
Another Deerfield classmate, Gig (pronounced as if spelled “Jidge”), sent me an email saying he’s going to contact more of my classmates and suggest they donate. These are some of the finest men I know and I am proud to be a part of this group. At my 25 year reunion when we got permission from Spencer’s oncologist to run out of town for a week right before Spencer started an intensification cycle of his chemo, the fine “young” men of DA ‘80 made Spencer feel a part of our class and even gave him one of the class shirts. On top of that, they donated over $2000 to support Spencer’s ride in 2005.
This weekend, after we get back from a 40 mile training ride, Spencer and I are going to create a custom tag to hang on our bikes thanking the Sons of Deerfield for their generosity. You guys are great.
Don’t for get to donate to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and support Spencer’s 45 mile solo ride.
Teaser for next post: Our October 17, 2008, training ride will be the 40 mile course of the Outlaw Trail 100. See you on the road - if you can catch Spencer.
