Completely out of control

I started Team Climb On! almost two years ago and now it’s completely out of control.  But in a really good way.

In 2007, we were just 7 guys committed to making a difference in the fight against multiple sclerocis.  We blew away our own expectations by raising over $22k for the National MS Society.

This year, we decided to do every charity ride in San Diego.  We raised money for the American Diabetes Association, the Livestrong Foundation, Challenged Athletes Foundation, San Diego Rady Children’s Hospital, the Red Cross and of course, the National MS Society.  And the team grew and changed.  At our signature event, the MS Bike Tour, we had 17 team members who raised over $31,000 in the fight against multiple sclerosis! 

Sitting on the lawn in Mission Bay Park enjoying the sunshine I realize that I’m meeting some TCO team members for the first time.  People are talking about what we’re going to do in 2009.  Plans are being made to “go big”.  Wow.  A representative of the National MS Society wants our contact info to do a story.  Yep, things are completely out of control.  Team Climb On! has a life of it’s own now.

It feels so good.  Congrats Team Climb On!  Can’t wait to see what happens next year.
