Ready To Ride… 24 Hours of Booty! (Updated)

Published by djones at 3:18 am under Cycling News, Training

1050_493760560_custom1.jpgWell, tonight’s the night (Friday).  I , along with TEAM AARON, will join hundreds of other cyclists pedaling for a great purpose!  It’s the 24 Hours of Booty.  So far, I have raised $1,825.00 $2,025.00 … THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!  My team is over the $11,000 dollar mark.  Click here to see my personal page. The entire effort now stands at $860,000 $874,137… the goal is 1 Million. 
Again, the 24 Hours of Booty is The Official 24 Hours Cycling Event of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and  it also benefits local cancer initiatives.  I will be riding in honor of my mom and dad who were both diagnosed last year.  I’m glad to report they’re both doing well right now.  I’m pedaling with a good friend, Brian, who lost his brother, Aaron, to brain cancer.  But, we’re also riding for the hundreds of thousands who have faced or will face the fight against cancer.  T
his event unites people who are passionate about cancer.  It’s about survivorship, knowledge, progress and support.  The 24 Hours of Booty experience represents hope, challenge, remembrance and celebration.  If you can pedal a bike… and you would like to get involved… you can still register for the 24 Hours of Booty event in Columbia, Maryland on September 6th and start fundraising fast!  The deadline to register is August 22d.  Check back Monday for details on our time in Charlotte.  Ride Strong!
