Ride On II- Memorial Ride- Help and Organisation

I should point out that:

1. I am VERY fucking tired right now, so in a generally moany mood- 4hrs or less sleep a night is killing me, and 30+ degree weather, and full day shifts.
   
2. I want this ride to work, so will keep trying after 3 weeks, but I'm just going to get busier and busier, and I need help.
   
3. This ride is important to me, but I can see the arguments against it.
