Win A Bike Tour in Italy or France
By spokesman | October 6, 2008
While the contest for the $25 Performance gift card is still going on, (see my previous post), I came across another contest that I wanted to share with the readers of the BicycleSpokesman blog. The Lance Armstrong Foundation does great work for people fighting cancer and their families. The signature funding raising event of the organization is the LiveStrong Challenge - one day events where walkers, runners and cyclists raise money through pledges. Since the organization is focused on cancer, many people affected by cancer choose to walk, run or bike. Some of the participates put in a significant effort to raise money. Brad Stratton, inspired by his Mom’s ongoing fight with cancer, is participating in the LiveStrong Challenge this year with the goal of raising $20,000. To help raise the money, Brad convinced Ciclismo Classico to donate a tour that will be raffled off to one of the people who donate. Ciclismo Classico is one of the top tier bicycle tour companies and offers high end fully supported tours in Italy, France and other destinations around the world.
This is a great opportunity to help a good cause and maybe win a bike tour. The information is on Brad’s Livestrong web page. You have to hurry because the contest ends on October 8. The minimum donation is only $5 but if you give more, you will have more chances to win. I found out about this contest through the FatCyclist blog. Fatty, the author of the blog, is a fellow cyclist, who is supporting the fund raising because his wife Susan is fighting cancer.
My mother is a cancer survivor and my father died of heart disease, so I regularly support fund raising events to fight these diseases. Please donate generously to a very good cause.
