Happening now: Bike Swap at Cycle U; helping Maddie in Admiral

That’s Terri Glaberson of CoolMom, caught during a moment between meeting and greeting visitors at the Bike Swap they’re sponsoring right now at Cycle University (WSB sponsor) in The Triangle, 4550 Fauntleroy Way SW. We were there about an hour after it started, and Cycle U’s Brad Loetel told us they’d already sold 10 bikes:

Part of the proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Project (explained here). You’ll also find activities and clinics (like “learn to ride” for kids) – it’s all under way till 3 pm; here’s the flyer.

Also right now, as Brittany reminded us in a comment earlier, a fundraiser in Admiral to help Maddie the rescue dog:

Animals First Foundation is having a fundraiser for one of their rescue dogs- Please help Maddie walk again!! Join us this Sunday, May 2nd from 11am-4pm at the corner of 42nd and Admiral, CrossFit parking lot in West Seattle for a Car Wash & BBQ. All donations go directly to Maddie’s CCL surgery and recovery. For info or to donate: 206.932.6888. Maddie was rescued off the streets by a Good Samaritan. She may have fallen out of a two-story window, or may have been pushed….unfortunately she can’t tell us. She was not able to walk at all and needed surgery on both back legs. Please help us raise the $1600 for her surgery and recovery.

ADDED 3:11 PM: Also got a car-wash photo from Meredith, including Maddie herself up front:

    Can donations be dropped off at Muttley Crews for Maddie? (Can’t make it to the car wash today, unfortunately…). I applaud everyone who has come together to help this wonderful dog!

    Animals First Foundation and Muttley Crew Cuts…you rock. Maddie is a wonderful, sweet dog and because of all of you, she has a second chance to find a kind, loving home. Thank you for caring.

Sorry, comment time is over.
