Ride complete! Fundraising goal smashed!

Thanks to everyone who as able to donate to my ride, we completely destroyed the $10,000 goal by raising over $12,700 when it was all said and done. I'm working on a short little zine/book about the whole project so if you want to know all the details of how it went, that will be ready in a couple months. In short, the ride was amazing, I had so much fun and saw so many beautiful things along the way. Michelle and Ruby had a great time doing the support job and we had a great time at the farm with the wonderful people and animals there.

I posted most of my favorite photos from the ride here:

Thanks again to everyone who was able to pitch in and sent me words of encouragement.

  1. Greetings! Please see the international dog shock incidents on StreetZaps; please disseminate this vital public service to preclude more injuries or tragedies. Many thanks for all your commendable work
    and stay safe!

    Best,

    Blair

    Just so you know, I confer with Con Edison's Stray Voltage and Public Affairs Units and contribute to Wet Nose Guide, Petfinder, and New
    York Dog Chat.

    HOW TO SLAY AN INVISIBLE DANGER.

    Blair Sorrel, Founder

    Contact voltage is a chronic hidden hazard that can readily victimize an unsuspecting dog, walker, or both. No dog lover could possibly
    observe a more horrifying scene than witnessing his beloved pet instantaneously maimed or tragically electrocuted. When you exercise
    your pooch, please exercise greater prudence. Common outdoor electrical and metal fixtures may shock or even kill your vulnerable
    dog. And depending upon the current, the walker will be bitten and like poor Aric Roman, suffer permanently. But you can, indeed, self-protect.

    Just start to adopt this simple AVOID A SHOCK. Take a few seconds and make your trajectory toward generally safer, free standing, non-conductive surfaces, ie., plastic, wood, cardboard. Intuit your dog’s cues and if it’s
    resistant, change directions. Work site perimeters may be live so try to elude them. If necessary, switch sides of the street or your hands when leading to skirt hazards. If you traverse the same route, you may
    memorize locations of potential dangers. Carry your pooch when in doubt. Consider indoor restroom products like PottyPark when external
    conditions are chancy or RopeNGo’s hardware-free leash and harness. And don’t rely on dog booties as a palliative as they will actually
    put your pet at even greater risk since the dog can’t tell you they’re leaking! To learn to more, please see StreetZaps. A safer walk is
    yours year round if you are willing to open to your eyes and mind to it.
