Suzie (6/04/08 8:26PM): WOW! Little Bro, I am sooooo proud of what you are doing, words cannot express all of my feelings. Everytime I log in and read your log and listen to your voice. I can't help but cry. Thinking of grandpa and grandma because of where you are and what you wrote! I love you sooooo mucchhhh! Hang in there!

Suzie (6/01/08 3:46PM): Matthew, I'm so proud of you and what you're doing to help others! Have fun and I'll be praying for you!

angelo pagano (1114) (5/26/08 7:29PM): hey, guy, it's been sooooo cool to occasionally train with you for this, my first ride. being a novice at cycling who just started in February, it took the example and enthusiasm of folks like you to make it all exhilarating. that, coupled with the vital cause involved, creates something more than worthwhile. many thanks for all of your efforts and great vibes. may you have a great, strain-free ride!!! see ya on the road . . . . hugs, angelo

Ginger Brewlay (5/22/08 10:15PM): Mathew, Your kind words mean so much to me, Thank you. The fact that you are again putting yourself out there and doing something for some one else, tells me that you are the kind of person ANYONE would be glad to call, " FRIEND ". I am so looking forward to a BIG hug from you each and every day of ALC 7. Be well rested for our week on the road, and always take time to stop and smell the flowers. Talk with the children and adults. And Thank the person who's there to help you as well. See you next week. Aloha,Ginger Brewlay ALC 7 Roadie # 9113

Annette (4/16/08 10:14PM): Hi Matthew, I'm Annette, rider 1260 from San Francisco. We haven't met but I wanted to say thank you for participating this year. I ride for my brother, Chris, who passed away from AIDS, so I appreciate all the hard work you are doing as well to help put an end to HIV/AIDS. I can hardly wait until all 2500 of us roll into LA. Ride strong and good luck. Annette

Steve (4/14/08 2:29PM): Good luck, Matthew!
