3000 Miles to a cure

Maria Parker holds numerous records as an ultraracing cyclist. She and her husband, Jim Parker, are co-owners of Cruzbike, a line of front wheel drive recumbent bicycles.

For the past several months Maria has been gathering information and reconnoitering the 3000 mile route of the Race Across America RAAM 2013, the toughest bike race in the world. She will be racing the Cruzbike Vendetta

Recently I met Maria and Jim in Congress, AZ, to drive them through some of the toughest sections of the RAAM 2013 route: from Congress, AZ to Flagstaff, AZ. It is typical of Maria and Jim to find out everything that they can in preparation for another record-breaking experience.

Today Maria announced publicly that she has committed to taking up the challenge of doing RAAM 2013 as a solo female. But it is not enough to accept this most daunting of physical, emotional and logistical challenges. She and her husband plan to raise $1,000,000 for a brain cancer cure.

This Fall Maria's sister, Jenny, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Like Maria, Jenny is a vibrant and intensely genuine woman. The funds raised by Maria in RAAM 2013 will be donated to the Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure Foundation (abc2)

Here is a link to the site where you can donate to Maria's 3000 Miles to a Cure.

Very inspiring

Psychling,

Thanks for the post; I had a feeling RAAM was on the radar for the Parkers, and Maria's effort combined with supporting her sister and counless others through this cause is very inspiring.

I look forward to reading more on your blog and here.

Please donate as little or as much as you are able so that brain cancer can be eradicated.

If 200,000 people give only $5 each, we will have reached our goal!

That is a bad link Dan.

The base path is to a gmail InBox. If someone has a gmail email account it will just load their inbox.

the goal

A million dollars is such a big number. It overwhelms and inspires me just like RAAM. Also like RAAM if you break it down into little pieces (in this case 200,000 of them), you can make it through. Thanks Dan and the rest of the Cruzbike community for the support you have always shown me and Jim. We need every little bit, especially now.
