Maine Legislative Sentiment

The "Coast to Coast for Celiac" bicycling adventure begins in a little over 3 weeks! There is still a great deal of work to be done before I leave and at times I have had the thought that actually bicycling from California to Maine will be the easy part! I want to thank all the people who have been there to help me with my awareness campaign and the abundance of planning that has come along with that.

My family and friends put on a public supper last weekend in Dixmont to help raise money and awareness for celiac disease. The love and support from my "hometown" has been wonderful!

The media exposure has been great in helping me get the word out. I think my appearance on the "207" show went well. Many people saw it and remarked on what a nice job I did. I was happy with how the show came out, but the camera definitely adds at least 10 pounds on you!

The news about my campaign is getting out there. I even recieved a call from the magazine "Woman's World" in regards to possibly doing a story on me. The Maine State Legislature has also heard about my efforts to raise awareness and they will be acknowledging my accomplishments by awarding me a Legeslative Sentiment at the State House on April 12th. After recieving my award in the House Cambers, I will set up my stationary bicycle in the House of Flags and continue spreading the word.

I will put another post on soon! Regina
