In order to participate in Bike and Build and make our own contribution to the project, each cyclist must raise at least  $4,000,  which works out to $1 for every mile I will be cycling. I am writing to  ask for your support in my cross-country Bike & Build adventure.  Each dollar you donate will sponsor one mile of my ride.  If  you choose to donate, your contribution will be tax-deductible. You can  make a contribution via credit card by visiting Bike & Build’s  website: www.bikeandbuild.org . Click on“ Donate”, select “Ettman, Melissa” under the drop-down menu and continue on with the instructions or click below.
