SUMMARY:Help Do Soon Bike from Austin\, TX\, to Anchorage\, AK\, to Fight
 Cancer
DESCRIPTION:“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma
 Gandhi\n
 \n
 \n
 On June 2\, 2012 51 fellow UT students and I will embark on a 70
 day journey to inspire and help those who are fighting cancer or
 have loved ones who are. How will we do this? My teammates and I
 will be BIKING over 4\,500 miles from Austin\, Texas to
 Anchorage\, Alaska! We represent the 2012 LIVESTRONG Texas4000
 for Cancer Team. Texas4000 is a non-profit organization at the
 University of Texas at Austin dedicated to spreading Hope\,
 Knowledge\, and Charity for those affected by cancer.\n
 \n
 This is the longest annual charity bike ride in the world. Each
 year\, since its inception in 2004\, a team of students rides to
 Alaska with one common goal\, fighting cancer. The team travels
 along to separate routes\, Coastal and Rockies\, in order to
 reach the most people during our summer journey. Along the way we
 give presentations spreading knowledge and awareness about how
 you can help prevent cancer. We also speak to cancer survivors
 and families who are currently battling cancer to show them that
 there are others out there fighting with them and for them.\n
 \n
 Additionally each rider is required to raise a minimum of $1 for
 every mile we bike\, $4\,500 per rider. With a team of 52 this
 year we will raise at least $234\,000\, but our team goal is to
 surpass that and raise $400\,000 before we leave. The money we
 raise goes many organizations that give support to cancer
 patients and do research into finding a cure. In the
 organizations history over 2.4 million dollars has been donated
 to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center\, the leading center for cancer
 research.\n
 \n
 Each rider is responsible for raising $1 for every mile we bike
 over a course of 4500 miles\, for a total of $4500. With your
 help\, I hope to raise more than that. There are many ways you
 can help:\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. Give Online\n

 4. Give in person. I would love to hear your story and dedicate
 this journey to you or a loved one!\n

 5. Please invite your friends to this event to help spread the
 word!\n

 If everyone I invited to this group gave just $7 I would surpass
 my fundraising goal! Every bit helps and I appreciate it all!\n
