Get to Know Henrike
Henrike Hirsch (which I presume rhymes with "cherry" auf Deutsch, co-founder of the LIVESTRONG® European Cycling Team, an International collaborative fundraising endeavor raising funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, now has her very own website, Rise to the Challenge:
Henrike, a cancer survivor herself, has raised money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation for five years. This is also her second year as a International Mentor for the LIVESTRONG® Challenge in Austin. Here she as as International Mentor (she has THE WHOLE WORLD in her hands):
This year, as part of her fundraising effort, she is asking who possibly can to donate $5 to her campaign (in honour of her fifth year as an LAF fundraiser). Please consider donating this nominal amount to a very worthy cause.
And don't forget Mic! This is team effort. Please remember that we need you as a a link in the chain.

Ah yes - Henrike also speaks almost perfect English - she even studied a year in Wisconsin - CHEESE-land - and seven thousand other languages (CURSE these multi-lingual Ìber-brainiacs!!! In a nice way, of course). Furthermore, she is DEUTSCH, which is SUPER TOLL!!! If that doesn't mean what I remember it means, then forgive me; I recollect that it's a high compliment (something along the lines of "cool"). If not, just let me know, Henrike!










Can we donate via PayPal?
I don't think there's a direct PayPal link, but Henrike may have her own PayPal account by which she could transfer the money. And if she doesn't, I have a Premiere Business Account (ooooo-la-la) and I'd be happy to transfer funds for you. Let me know.
I do have a personal paypal account- so anyone interested in donating via PayPal can send the payment to: Ride2007Europe@aol.com
Thanks Kate for the wonderful post.
p.s.: "supertoll" is exactly what you remembered it to be. Thanks!
Bitte schön, Henrike; you deserve it!
There is no PayPal button on Henrike's site.
There is a Paypal button now. I had some troubles setting it up- sorry it took so long!
If you click on the button on the sidebar, you should be directed to the paypal website.
Thanks for making the suggestion to put a paypal link on the website. That's a great idea!
