<p>Yes, thanks Debbie, I was referring to starting a Chainlink Group - sometimes that's a little easier than having this on the forum as a post. Good luck!!</p>

<p>Yasmeen, that is essentially what we are....We hold Bike events and rides to bring angels together to help support the various children...Check us out tonite on Fox News at 9, to see what we do exactly as we show support to a child and his family....the marathon helps to raise funds to continue the support...we are all volunteers</p>

<p>We run a nonprofit group called Bike Bald....supporting Children with Cancer Awareness....Everyday I receive at these 10 calls from a family that is needing help...not just $$ in fact 99% is not financial but support, a smile , a card etc...some cases are bit more in need than others. We have 4 children in great need. So to help raise the $$ for them we have been accepted as a charity partner in the 2015 Naperville Marathon (1/2 & full) (it is a Boston qualifying marathon) there is a 1/2 or full marathon you can enter. This week is charity week which means if you sign up to support Bike Bald you will receive $40 off of registration - this is the largest discount given. We have children at the age of 3 born with cancer and now paralyzed is in need of a wheel chair, a girl who is 4 with a very rare cancer - military family struggling in need of support etc. Our fundraising comitment is only $250. please visit <a href="http://www.BikeBald.com" target="_blank">www.BikeBald.com</a> for more information. </p>
<p>THANK YOU KEVIN! You are doing a wonderful thing....I hope we can bring angels together to help support these children.</p> Sorry for the lack of updates…tag:thechainlink.org,2012-01-31:2211490:Comment:5080362012-01-31T17:14:36.321ZKevin Swansonhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/KevinSwanson
<p>Sorry for the lack of updates but we did have a meeting and it was a great start. We met with a few interested folks and mostly spent our time brainstorming how Bike Buddies is going to work. Things like websites, a logo, volunteer training and outreach/how we're getting the word out. We have a bunch of great ideas and it looks like a network of committed folks as well!</p>

<p>Hello everyone!!</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, needless to say, I am so impressed, inspired and excited by the amount of interest that has been expressed for the project! Thanks to everyone so far, I have no doubts that this will be a huge success.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This Saturday, Jan 21 at 3pm, I would love to have the first meeting for everyone. We are still working on getting a location and worst case scenario, it'll be in my living room in Logan. Everyone will be updated as soon as this is…</p>

<p>This Saturday, Jan 21 at 3pm, I would love to have the first meeting for everyone. We are still working on getting a location and worst case scenario, it'll be in my living room in Logan. Everyone will be updated as soon as this is known.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, we've just created an email which is chibikebud@gmail.com. I would really appreciate if all of you could send an email to that address so we can add you to the email list and you'll be able to stay in the loop. (Of course, at any point, you will be able to opt out and stop receiving any unwanted emails.)</p>
<p></p>
<p>That is all for now! Please send us an email and keep your schedules free at 3 this Saturday! Can't wait to get started :)</p>
<p></p>
