I am part of the Lance Armstrong Foundation Peloton Project.
What is the Peloton Project?
The LAF was founded in 1997 by one of my personal heroes: cancer survivor and champion cyclist, Lance Armstrong. The LAF seeks to promote the optimal physical, psychological, and social recovery and care of cancer survivors, and works to identify and improve survivor services and facilitates the delivery of those services—with a large dose of hope—to those affected by the disease.LAF wrote: The Peloton Project
The Peloton Project is the LAF's major grassroots fundraising and outreach initiative. In 2004, 7200 Peloton Project members collected more than $5.5 million in donations for the LAF to continue helping cancer survivors live strong.
How the Peloton Project Works
Peloton Project members raise funds and awareness for the LAF. In return, the LAF rewards members with various incentive prizes. Registered Peloton members who raise a minimum of $150 can participate in the Ride for the Roses Weekend.
I am asking you to join me as I help the LAF in their efforts to improve the lives of cancer survivors. The LAF’s grassroots fundraising effort is known as the Peloton Project. Individuals such as myself from all over the world pledge to help raise funds in the fight against cancer and in an effort to increase the services cancer survivors receive. In 2003, 6,704 individuals from every state and 18 countries raised nearly $4.5 million, and in 2004, those totals grew to nearly 8,000 people and $6 million.
I plan on participating in the 2005 Ride for the Roses in Austin, Texas and completeing the full 100 mile circuit. I started training for this while I was recently in the hospital for a Stem Cell Transplant (12/24/2004 - 1/11/2005). I have been battling Non-Hodgkin's & Hodgkin's Lymphoma since June 2003.
You do not have to donate much $1, $5, $10, etc .. any donation is GREATLY appreciated.
You can go to my Ride for the Roses Page (CLICK HERE)and donate there (and also get a little more information) OR you can donate directly via this LINK.
I have kept an online journal since I was diagnosed in June 2003. That can be read HERE.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you so much for your donations.
