I’m biking for charity and I’d love your support!!!

I’ve organized a 27-mile charity bike ride on Saturday, October 25, and invite you to participate by sponsoring me.  The ride will raise money for the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association, RSDSA.  RSDSA is a national organization working to end RSD (also called CRPS), a neurological pain condition.

A donation of any amount will be helpful.  I’d especially appreciate a donation representing the miles I’ll ride, for example, $27 or $2.70.  Even 27 cents lets me know you’re rooting for me.

You can donate online here:  Philly Bike Ride for Pain Relief

Or you can donate directly at the RSDSA website and let me know in the comments how much you’ve donated, so I can add it to the ride total.  (For my own patients who read this blog, you’re welcome to donate directly to RSDSA or any other pain organization on your own, but I ask that you not donate at the First Giving link above.  It could be seen as a possible conflict of interest (:

So make a donation…

• to end RSD
• to support a great national pain organization
• to say thanks if you’ve been helped by How to Cope with Pain
• in honor of a family member, friend or doctor who’s supported you
• for many other great reasons

Thanks for your support!
