NKF Chili Cook-Off
I've been invited to be a judge for the DC CHILI cook-off. This year's bands? Staind, Live, Finger Eleven, Seether, dEAf PEdESTRIANS, and Chevelle. If you don't know, this is a concert/chili cookoff/fundraiser for the National Kidney Foundation. In the past, I was always too busy training for RAAM to go, but this year, I think I'll go.

Events To Promote Organ Donation
I'll be holding a Spin-A-Thon to benefit the
National Kidney Foundation on March 11th. Please save the date. It will be held at the
Washington Sports Clubs Sterling, VA location. Come and ride along with me. I'll be providing food, fluid, and entertainment. More details to follow.
I'll be holding a family fun ride on April 29th to benefit the Washington Regional Transplant Consortium. The ride will start and finish at the Reston Town Center, will be around 5 or 6 miles on paved trails, and will be suitable for young children. The WRTC is the local Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) for the metropolitan DC area. About the WRTC:
- With one hospital call to the Washington Regional Transplant Consortium (WRTC), a complex and sophisticated series of events brings together an organ or tissue donor, a donor family, surgical recovery and transplant teams and patients on the transplant waiting list.
- WRTC provides strong support both medically and emotionally to organ and tissue donor families, living donors, and transplant recipients throughout the donation process and for years afterwards.
I will also be holding an event to benefit the Give Life Foundation in Late May or Early June. Stay tuned for more details.
