John Dohner, an amazing man, who saw me hooked up to a catheter so I wouldn’t keep gushing blood internally after taking a knee in my kidney during a football pile-up, just donated $250 to the book that will underwrite our NBG Spring Tour.  

Wow!  What a surprise!  In case any of you missed it, I put out a mailing on Saturday in which I changed the title of my book. Instead of “Are You Strong Enough to Love”, which may have been off putting for some people, I changed it to “How the Bicycle Reawakened Me” while keeping  the same subtitle. To it, I added the word ‘love’ per  “How it and Love Can Revitalize You are Communities Nation and the World with the National Bicycle Greenway”

Besides garnering John’s contribution, this new title will allow me to ask for bike shop support  when we are doing our Virtual Tours of Santa Cruz, San Jose, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Davis and Reno next May per this schedule. If all goes according to plan, in at least a few of these cities, I will be able to bring a ride from their city’s anchor hotel to their store for a booksigning and short talk. 

Thanks for priming the pump John. If any of you want to be a part of helping me make this real with your name in my book by making with a small donation, it does not have to be $250, or if you want to see the mini P&L I drew up, go to www.gofundme.com/lovebook   

THX 4 all of U!!
