$680, mostly from the VW community. I've received a few from CJVWS members.

If funds are tight due to Christmas, the event isn't until March 3rd 2017, so there's plenty of time after the January credit card bill is paid.

There's just over 3 weeks left. So far i've raised just under $3200. I'm so close to $3500, so please help me reach that goal.

So donation is too small.

Thanks to all that sent in donations and I hope I can count on you again. I'll keep cycling until there is no reason.

So i've been invited for the kickoff event September 27th at Times Square. I'll be at the 12:00 time slot and spinning to with many others. WCBS 2 usually covers the event, so check the 6:00pm news and you might see me.

MetLife will match, dollar for dollar, your donation if made by the end of the year. So now your donation will help twice as much.

Noa is ready.
