Let It Ride - Updated, links now working

On August 1st, our friend and local biologist, Paul Rudershausen will embark on a cross-country bike ride to benefit the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. Paul's journey will begin in Coos Bay, Oregon (Cory Cat's home state) and will take him through a dozen states and over 3000 miles to his final destination of Atlantic Beach, NC.

Paul has been a dedicated OWLS volunteer for three years. He's taking this journey at his own expense and all donations will go directly to the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. His goal is to raise $10,000 to help improve the facilities and to fund the construction of a large mammal cage.

There are several ways you can support Paul's cause:
•Make a secure online donation at pedal4wildlife.org
•Follow Paul's journey via his blog
•Join Paul's cause on facebook
•Tell your friends about his incredible journey
•Volunteer at OWLS

Check out the media coverage:

Carteret County News-Times

We hope everyone will follow Paul and cheer him on during his incredible journey for wildlife. Chances are he will be riding through a town near you! Go Paul Go! Go Paul Go!

OWLS is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charitable organization whose mission is to rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned animals and teach the public how to coexist peacefully with wildlife.

See you at the bridge, sweet Max! Give Cal nosetaps for us!

Happy 4th of July weekend to all!
