I decided to start a Blog of my experiences with the Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge (QMDC). What is the QMDC? Well, it is a 7-day, 600 mile bicycle ride down the California Coast from San Francisco to San Diego in order to raise money for the Challenged Athlete’s Foundation (CAF). Below is some information about CAF as well as a link to their website:
Established in 1997, the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) is a unique organization that recognizes the athletic greatness inherent in all people with physical challenges and supports their athletic endeavors by providing grants for training, competition and equipment needs.
The hundreds of athletes assisted by CAF range from world class athletes competing on an international level to those who are recently disabled and are intent on becoming more active.

I became involved with the QMDC because of a contest I entered, promoted by XX1090 Sports Radio, in order to obtain a spot on the QMDC Team. After reading more about CAF and its mission along with attending the first meeting, it soon became clear to me that I should make an effort to fundraise for this great cause. We often take for granted the ability to jump on our bicycles and go for a ride or throw on our shoes and go for a run. But what if suddenly that was not an option? CAF gives individuals back the option to ride, run, and live a fuller life. I want to help any way I can.
