Furnace Creek 508 Press Release...race start is 3 weeks from tomorrow

10 September, 2010

For those that may not be familiar with the event, check out the Press Release that was posted today for the 508! http://www.the508.com/2010web/2010pr.html

ONETOUGHRIDE | WHY

ONETOUGHRIDE is a fund raising effort to support research to find a cure for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) diseases. The Jeffrey Modell Foundation is matching 100% of all donations for local research conducted at the Jeffrey Modell Primary Immunodeficiency Center at Stanford. As a father of a child with PI, I have used various ultra endurance cycling events (since starting the project in 2010) as a backdrop for fund raising to support the efforts of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation. I will once again use my participation in the 2016 Silver State 508 to raise awareness and funding for the Jeffrey Modell Primary Immunodeficiency Center at Stanford which is under the directorship of Dr. David B. Lewis. Dr. Lewis is an incredible Physician and Scientist, and it is truly an honor to be able to play a small part in supporting the work that he and his team are doing. Our family is also very fortunate to have Dr. Lewis as our child’s immunologist. I hope that you will join me in this effort by clicking on the link above and making a donation to support this cause. This challenge is personal but the impact is global, and I'll be racing for all of the children and adults around the world that battle PI diseases every day!
