Endurance training…for a cause

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:49 pm

In the next few weeks I’ll be doing some endurance training to get me through those long days of hosting and/or playing in wiffle tournaments. To be better prepared for these 10-12 hour days, I’ve decided to do some distance cycling. Actually, I hate cycling and I hate 99% of obnoxious cyclists on the roads. However, two of my clients-turned-friends have asked me to join a team in cycling for a great cause.   They, unfortunately, have been suffering from Freidriech’s Ataxia, a genetic neuromuscular disease, since the age of 8.   So, I’ve taken the training wheels off of my bicycle. FARA (Freidriech’s Ataxia Research Alliance) is hosting a 50-mile ride on October 10th to raise money, which will hopefully fund a cure for this debilitating neuromuscular disease. I’ll be riding as part of a 10 person team, based out of southern Connecticut.

Any donations would be very much appreciated and not overlooked during next year’s tournament play…thanks.
