LP EMBROIDERY
Wow.. I got the Conga paches and all the others I order from LP EMPROIDERY today in the mail.. Top quality!! Great service and not to mention, half off all the money from patches you buy on the Conga page, will go to our Conga Breast Cancer Fund. Check out their other biker patches, they make a great stocking stuffer. They will even design you own, no matter how simple or detailed.

It's all good!
I finally got the other form filled off and sent of to the Cancer Society. Boy, it is alot of paperwork to give money away, especially if you are doing any kind of event. I sure coud not have done that alone either. My faithful friend Jenn was helping me on line fill out the forms So any day now we should have the on line site going. Seems I have been saying that for along while now.
Also I have been working with my new friend in Argentina, to help me with my Web page. Great guy Gus is. He told me he tried to make a donation, and it wouldn't work, possibly because he was from there. Then he read that I needed some help to make it look more like a web page than a blog. So..soon, we should be seeing some kick ass changes...lol
I have been enjoying talking to him, because no only does he do Web design, he rides, and I get to practise spanish with him and correct him on his almost perfect english. So it's all good!!
Thanks for going with the Flo http://gowitheflo.com/

This week I started up a new Web Page, for the upcoming Conga III in July 2010
Wow... so now, I am a web designer..Ha, I do not think so. I have to say it is one hell of alot of work, and it sure makes me appreciate Web designers now. Mine looks more like a blog page, but the cool part is every thing is all there in one spot, even this and my other Conga Blogs will but on the page for guests. It is all very time consuming an over whelming to say the least but exciting the same time.
Tomorrow I should have the Canadian Site set up to let the donation begin. I think it will be a little fun, sort of competion the Canadians agains the American in the fund raising dept. So far there is only a about 8 Canadian riding, hopefull that will change.
This week we had a Kelly from Qualicum and Kelly from the USA sign up. I am getting lots of private emails from people not in the path way, wondering if we were coming tht way on the way back. Anyway, I suggested they make their own Conga Line and Support us and they will be Conga riders in a different area but still riding for the cause.
If anyone has any suggestions about the web page, please let me know... I do think help is on the way from Argentina though!! Yup, that is right, a friend from Argentina whom I met on Facebook through RLAP, has offered to help. So who knows what it will look like in a couple days.
okay, thanks for goingwithflo!!!

I have been working all day on this. I am learning faster than I thought. I am anxious to have a site that is easy for all the donaters to see and of course our Sponsors. It has a long way to go, but will be great when it is finished.
If any one wants to advertise here lemme know!!!

Female Canadian Motorcyclist Riding Across America
Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser
Dear VTwin Mama,
I am writing to you on behalf of a friend, who is in the planning stages of her second cross continental trip on her Harley. She is known as “Flo” on the lady motorcycle forums I frequent. Her name is Tannis Fuhr. Last year she did it mainly for herself and to get her new motorcycle home from Florida. This turned into not just a trip of a lifetime for her and the opportunity to meet many other riders (mainly female) but also gave her reason to go back and make this trip all over again starting in May of 2009. Her ride was nicknamed the "Conga" and this will be "Women Who Ride (WWR) Conga II".
This year she has decided to make it a fundraiser for breast cancer as well as another fabulous trip. At the present she has approximately a dozen fellow lady and men riders that will be leaving from Pensacola, Florida, heading north towards Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then west to cross the border into Vancouver and in turn home to Vancouver Island. The riders will change as the route progresses as some need to return home and others will pick up where they live and join her in her travels as far as they are able. There are approximately 81 riders total so far who have committed to escorting her across America to her home. There are also some who are not able to ride with her because of location. These are our “spirit riders” who will be watching her progress. Some of us are riding for our mother, brother, sister, or other family members or friends. Some of us are survivors and some have fought and are still fighting it.
Last year she collected some pledges from friends and family for each state that she made it to and donated that to a local charity on Vancouver Island. She would like to try and make this a bigger fundraiser than last year. Her goal is to raise a generous $10,000 donation for BCF. There is a very large following on several lady rider forums including one that is set up strictly for the information regarding this ride on Delphi Forums. A new website has recently been started specifically for all information relating to Conga II. Flo also has a blog that she has started with all information so far in regards to the trip and once she arrives in Florida she will be blogging every day and all the way across the continent.
