I just received the following email from Carmen Marsten. Carmen is Vice President Human Resources at Zimmerman Advertising. Carmen is also a member of the zMotion cycle team that is currently training for the MS150 ride which takes place on May 2 & 3. Zimmerman is looking for additional volunteers to help them run the MS150 ride.

Hello Team zMotion!! As of today, we have 505 registered riders and we are currently at $125,000 for fundraising and a long way to go to reach our goal!! Let’s focus our fundraising efforts now and continue to recruit more riders! We are now just 5 weeks away from the 2009 Zimmerman MS Bike Ride from Miami to Key Largo! So far, it has been an exciting training season and all our efforts will be realized as we ride together in May.
zMotion is in need of many volunteers to assist us with the Key Largo events and rest stops on May 2nd and 3rd. If any of your friends or family would like to assist zMotion in our efforts and support National MS Society, then please email Al Ferguson (alferguson@zadv.com ) with the names of the people offering to volunteer along with a wish of one or two of the following volunteer categories:
1. zMotion Start Line Tent, 5/2/09, Bank United Center in Miami - 4 volunteers needed.
2. zMotion Rest Stop Day One #5, South Dade Park, 5/2/09 along route - 10 volunteers needed including “Tent Captain”
3. zMotion Finish Line Tent, 5/2/09, John Pennekamp in Key Largo - 6 volunteers needed.
4. zMotion Hotel Check-in & Pool Party 5/2/09, Holiday Inn/Ramada Limited, Key Largo – 4 volunteers needed.

The MS150 is an awesome ride. It's because of all the fantastic volunteers, that it is such a well organized and enjoyable ride.
