Yesterday was our Scoot for a Cure ride all over Kansas City. We had an excellent time. The routes we scooted were mostly back roads, and a lot of rural areas-- really beautiful. The weather was goregous! Low humidity, 80 degrees and sunny. What more could you ask for?
I'm really thankful for all the riders who showed up, and the help from our sponsors. Everyone was great. We raised $466.82 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
We had such a fantastic time, we're going to do this again next year. Mark your calendar for the second Saturday in June!

Oh-- on a side note, make sure you have GOOD sunscreen.
Even if you reapply with crappy stuff, you still get burned. Ask me how i know! (see the lovely untanned spot where my purse strap was? i'm so cool)

What are some charitable causes that you support or would like to support?
We (ScootKC) have decided to do a scoot rally on June 9 as a fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
I also support the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City. We've participated in the Dog N Jog for several years. (don't know about this year since its the day after the rally)
My husband and I are also "Friends of the Arts" at the Nelson Atkins Art Museum.
As of today, I have an exciting new project. I love event planning.
I've been in contact with a rep from JDRF, from their fundraising department. ScootKC, the scooter club I belong to, is going to host a 3rd party charity event for JDRF: Scoot for Diabetes. (tentatively named that).
I hope this is a big event. I'm trying to reach some local vendors to see if they will sponsor us. I think it will be really cool. Off to do more work!!
