This is a very exciting time (as you'll see below)...
Over the past month, I've been sharing information with you about my "Dog Cancer Ride Across America Two" - a charity fundraiser to help dogs whose owners can't afford to pay for their cancer care.
In 2008, I rode my bicycle 4,231 miles across America, from Astoria, Oregon, to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to raise money for dog cancer charities.
That ride was a great success.
The money we raised allowed us to fund monthly donations to The Magic Bullet Fund - to give them a continuing stream of much needed resources to finance care for the dogs in their program.
In the past year we've given almost $6,000 to The Magic Bullet Fund, which makes us one of their top donors, and has helped get treatment for dozens of needy dogs.
The donations we collected also allowed us to set up additional charity accounts - to ensure continued donations (for the time being) to The Magic Bullet Fund, and to create other dog cancer care initiatives.
Now, as I near the end of The Dog Cancer Ride Across America "Two", I can use your help...
I don't need to tell you how much people (and dogs) are struggling out there.
I hear stories from the vets I work with - about dog owners who are canceling their dog's appointments because they know they won't be able to afford the treatments their dogs need.
People have lost jobs and now have to make a terrible choice - food for the table or care for their dogs (and the dogs are losing).
And, more and more, dog owners are reaching out to organizations like The Magic Bullet Fund and other charities to try to figure out what they can do to help their dogs.
But to top it off, charities are struggling as well...
Donations are way down (I know this first hand - I'm experiencing it on this year's charity ride), and their resources are stretched to the limits by a community that needs their help more than ever.
I recently got a letter from Laurie Kaplan - my friend and the founder and director of The Magic Bullet Fund - worried they may have to scale back their operations, and cut down on the number of dogs they can accept into their program, due to lack of available resources.
That's the bad news...
The good news is I've seen amazing stories of the community rising to the challenge, realizing that we're all in this together - and working together to make sure everyone gets through these difficult times.
I almost didn't do the ride this year. It takes a ton of preparation and hard work - and a month on the road, away from my home and business, can be a difficult burden.
But in the end I decided I had no choice - the members of our dog cancer family needed me to ride.
I knew I couldn't turn my back on members of our dog cancer family in need, and that I needed to find a way to help - to raise donations that would get these dogs the care they deserve.
So this summer I hit the road again - riding another 1,329 miles - this time from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California. (As I write this letter I'm rapidly approaching the finish line - 1,290 miles into the ride, only 39 miles to go! Wow.)
But now I need your help more than ever
If you haven't already done so, could I ask you to please make a donation for this year's ride...?
Even if it's just a few dollars (even if it's just $1 ONE Dollar - believe me, every bit helps)

Your donations will ensure that we can continue to support The Magic Bullet Fund for the year (and the years) to come - and give us the resources needed to finally launch the Marty Miracle Fund (to provide a second outlet for dog owners who need help and to give them financial assistance for much needed supplements that support their dogs' natural cancer care).
Again, I thank you for your kindness - for taking the time to read this message - for allowing me the opportunity to make this important request - and most of all, for your ongoing support of me, the ride, and the things we do to help dogs fight cancer.
Bye for now...
and I'll see you down the road.
Warmly,
