Preparations

Warm weather seems is fast approaching, so it's time to really start preparing for the trip. This week will be spent drafting letters to local businesses; hopefully I can get a couple of sponsors to defray the costs of food, gas, etc. None of your donations will be used for these costs. All the money I raise go straight to the HERA Foundation. If anyone can suggest a generous business, or if you've got any questions, send me an email - Pelekhaty@gmail.com and if you'd just like to donate, click here. I'm relying mostly on word of mouth to get donations, so if please feel free to pass on this site to your friends, family, coworkers or complete strangers!


So far, $255 raised, only 4.5% of the way there. Thanks to Samantha Lockwood of the HERA Foundation, Stacy Praniewicz and firemen Dan "LTD" Syme Sr and "Wild" Bill Sheehy for getting me started.

Motorcycling for Ovarian Cancer Awareness

This summer, I’m riding my Harley across the country and back in 16 days. I’ll be stopping at firehouses along the way to promote awareness about ovarian cancer, because everyone should know the symptoms. While the fire department is a field dominated by men, we have mothers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, and sisters.

I’m asking you to support my journey by donating to the HERA Women's Cancer Foundation. My goal is to raise $6000 for HERA’s mission, a dollar for every mile I ride. They have set up a webpage for me where you can make a tax-deductible donation. HERA is not supporting my journey financially. All of the proceeds that HERA receives will go directly towards their mission. Through a combination of corporate sponsorship and my own funds, I will cover the expenses associated with my journey.
