| CCC 8 Track (click for larger view) |
The reason and inspiration for this ride is that a local mountain biker, father, husband and good friend is in a costly battle for his life with 3 rare blood cancers and The Kilmer Challenge Ride benefiting The David Kilmer Cancer Fund was created to try to help.
You can participate in The Kilmer Challenge Ride from anywhere in the world! You just sign up (tinyurl.com/KilmerChallengeJoin) and get people to sponsor you for each mile you ride on November 11th, 2012 (tinyurl.com/KilmerChallengeSponsor).
I'm going to try to complete the "CCC 8 Track" because the route's rugged Jefferson National Forest singletrack is exactly the type of riding that David loves, and in a recent conversation David said he wants to do a truly epic backcountry mountain bike adventure when he recovers, so I'm hoping the planning, images, video and stories that result from this attempt will be uplifting and inspiring for David.
The cumulative costs of the procedures, treatments, travel, and care associated with David's cancer battle are astronomical - and I'm kindly asking for your help.
Please sponsor my single-day "CCC 8 Track" attempt at 10 cents per mile by clicking here tinyurl.com/KilmerChallengeSponsor.
If I make it, your resulting donation to The David Kilmer Cancer Fund will be $8.
If you are able to and moved to sponsor/donate more, that's wonderful and will be really greatly appreciated by David, his wife Susan and their daughter Julia.
Example sponsorship and corresponding donation amounts for the 80 mile Kilmer Challenge "CCC 8 Track" attempt:
- 10 cents per mile = $8
- 25 cents per mile = $20
- 50 cents per mile = $40
- $1 per mile = $80
- $5 per mile = $400
