General: Illini 4000 for Cancer 2010 - cross country bike ride fundraiser

For the second year velospace and the Illini 4000 are partnering up to help support their admirable project.

velospace is sponsoring a great cause this summer and so should you: the Illini 4000 for Cancer.

The Illini 4000 for Cancer is a bike ride across America from New York City to San Francisco to raise money and awareness of cancer issues and cancer's effects on our lives. Every summer a group of University of Illinois students band together and ride their bikes for 4,000 miles from coast-to-coast in support of this cause through many towns and cities - maybe yours.

The Illini 4000's mission:

The Illini 4000 is a non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against cancer, the support of those affected by cancer, and the documentation of how cancer impacts the lives of Americans. Through our annual cross-country bike ride, we reach out to new communities and new individuals each year spreading our message of hope and awareness. As long as cancer remains an issue of public health, as long as cancer affects daily life, and so long as cancer takes its toll, we shall continue our fight.

Interested in helping? Pitch in one of three ways:
1. Donate money
2. Host the riders when they are in your town
3. Sponsor the ride

velospace and the Illini 4000 will be working together this summer to support this great cause. Riders will be chiming in on velospace as the ride progresses give us updates and take part in the velospace community.

Awesome, thanks for helping out
