A worthy cause

I wanted to use this post to talk about Vishnu and his crusade to raise more funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research by biking ridiculous distances across the state of Virginia.
MS is a disease the affects the central nervous system and could result in severe pain and disability in people affected. More about this in the link below.

Vishnu is trying to raise money for MS research by riding a road bike across 150-odd miles (he will probably abuse me for approximating this number, he probably knows the distance down to a millimeter) I strongly encourage all readers to donate using the link below. The National MS Society, which sponsors this event, is fairly efficient at using donations (~15% is used for operating expenses, the law recommends <35%) and uses money to fund research and support groups. Please mention my name in the donations so that I can gloat on how this blog did something useful for once.
