I wanted to post this out there as we are doing a little fund raiser for this organization that has been helping us cope with my father's illness. As some of you may know, my father was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) almost 3 years ago. As his illness progresses, my family has received support from the MDA. They are doing an event called Stride & Ride to raise money for their organization. My family is participating in this effort. If you would like to find out more about this event, you can visit the website at

I do not want any large donations and do not expect you folks to donate. I am allowing folks that know me and my family the opportunity to participate if they wish to. I have a paypal account set up to receive funds if you wish to participate. my paypal account is
jim@saubier.com and I ask that you put in the comments that this is for stride&ride. Please feel free to ask any questions.
