SUMMARY:Help Meryl Cycle from Austin\, Texas to Anchorage\, Alaska to
 Fight Cancer!
DESCRIPTION:On June 1\, 2012\, 50 fellow friends and I will embark on a 70
 day journey to inspire and help those who are affected by cancer.
 How will we do this? My teammates and I will CYCLE 4\,556 miles
 from Austin\, Texas all the way to Anchorage\, Alaska! We
 represent the 2012 LIVESTRONG Texas4000 for Cancer Team.\n
 \n
 Texas 4000 is a non-profit organization at the University of
 Texas at Austin\, created by a student in 2004 who suffered from
 cancer himself and decided to combine his passion of cycling and
 fighting cancer. Every summer since\, Texas 4000 has been sending
 students on a mission to spread hope\, knowledge\, and charity
 throughout the United States and Canada\, making it the longest
 charity ride in the world. \n
 \n
 Half of us will make our journey through the Rockies\, and the
 other half along the California coast. In each community we cycle
 through\, we will make cancer awareness presentations\, helping
 to educate people on cancer prevention and early detection. We
 will also speak to cancer victims with hopes to support\,
 encourage\, and inspire them.\n
 \n
 Each rider is responsible for raising a minimum of $4\,500. That
 is approximately $1 for every mile we ride. The money we raise
 goes towards cancer research. In the organizations history\, over
 2.4 million dollars have been donated to M.D. Anderson Cancer
 Center\, the leading center for cancer research. \n
 \n
 In order to reach our lofty goals\, we need your help! There are
 many ways to get involved in my fundraising campaign:\n
 \n
 1. Message me your home address/contact information so I can send
 you more information about the ride and how to contribute.\n
 \n
 2. Donate Online\n
 Visit http://www.texas4000.org/give/donate and make a donation
 through PayPal. Please put my name (Meryl Carey) in the
 “DESCRIPTION” field.\n
 \n
 3. Donate by Check\n
 Pay to the order of “Texas 4000 for Cancer”\, with my name in
 the “FOR” field\, and mail it to:\n
 Texas 4000\n
 901 S. Mopac Building\n
 Building 1\, Suite 300\n
 Austin\, TX 78746\n
 \n
 4. Give in person. I would love to hear your story and dedicate
 this journey to you or a loved one.\n
 \n
 5. Please invite your friends to this event to help spread the
 word.\n
 \n
 If everyone I invited to this group gave just $10\, I would
 surpass my fundraising goal. Every bit helps and I appreciate it
 all!\n
 \n
 We dedicate each day of our journey to someone we know who has
 dealt with cancer. I would love to hear your story and remember
 you or your loved one along the way. You can also find out more
 information by going to our official website

 \n
 We ride to spread HOPE that one day we will find a cure. We ride
 to increase KNOWLEDGE about how you can help prevent cancer. We
 ride to raise CHARITY in order to make these feats possible. \n
 \n
 Thank you so much for your support! Without you\, this would not
 be possible.\n
 \n
 Cheers\,\n
