#SHUTUPDIABLO a ride with Jens Voigt in support of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation

04 April, 2016

April is National PI Awareness Month and April 22-29 is World PI Awareness Week!

The Racing Roosters are gearing up for the 2016 Silver State 508 and we're kicking off the season with an opportunity FOR YOU to DO GOOD, RIDE HARD, LIVE WELL, and LOOK AWESOME wearing the new ROOSTER RACING JEFFREY MODELL FOUNDATION EDITION jersey!

In support of National Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) Awareness Month and World PI Awareness week we are making available these awesome jerseys with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Jeffrey Modell Foundation. These jerseys are available in Mens and Womens sizes and can be purchased directly at the Rooster Racing web store using the following link https://roosterracing.wazala.com

If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that the ONETOUGHRIDE project has shared a relationship with the Jeffrey Modell Foundation since it's inception back in 2010. In 2015 I joined Rooster Racing International, Incorporated and have promoted the ONETOUGHRIDE project as a part of the organizations larger platform.

I hope you will consider purchasing one of these jerseys to support a great cause and also help us raise awareness to support for approximately 250,000 people that have been diagnosed in the US alone, and the "thousands more" that have yet to be diagnosed. You can also help by signing the Global PI Call to Action, which asks around the world to take steps to understand, diagnose, and manage PI Diseases in their respective countries - sign the petition at http://www.worldpiweek.org/get-involved/sign-petition

Thank you in advance for your support!

Best,

Steve

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!
