Wow.
December has flown by, and as we approach 2012, I am extremely thankful for all the support we have received thus far in our 2011 Holiday Campaign. We weren't sure if we could meet the $50,000 match, but our members and donors have delightfully surprised us with their support. And now we have an additional $18,000 challenge to meet. We are really close, but every little bit still helps.

Your support helps us provide the tools and encouragement so that those who dream of bicycle travel can go the distance. We?ve already shared with you the story of Jerry, Dennis, and Bill, childhood friends who reunited on the TransAm this past summer, the inspiring account of how member Joe Golden conquered diabetes through bicycle travel, staff member Madeline McKiddy?s relatable description of developing confidence as the result of her first tour, the heartwarming tale of Michael and Krista who spent their honeymoon atop a tandem bicycle to raise money for affordable housing, the far-reach of inspiration that comes in Adventure Cyclist magazine, and my own story of becoming a cyclist and then, yes, an adventure cyclist.
We'll come back with a full report on the 2011 Holiday Campaign after the New Year, but until then, you still have time to help us meet our matching challenge. You can give online or send in a check (must be dated 12/31/11 and received by 1/6/2012).
And just to sweeten the pot, all online donations (either through Razoo or our own donation page) made by midnight PST on December 31st will be entered into a raffle to win an Adventure Cycling swag kit, complete with Adventure Cycling tailbag, patch kit, magnets, headsweat, and more!
We wish you all a happy 2012 and look forward to reporting back to you with the results of the campaign!--
AMANDA LIPSEY is the development director for Adventure Cycling Association.
