Coins for Cancer

Hung out at South 1st and Riverside this morning to raise money to fight cancer! That’s me in the photo in the link above with Katie Koehler, a Texas 4000 2012 rider, and an Austinite dressed as a panda! The panda’s costume came with no pockets, which meant the only place they could store some change to donate was a fanny pack!

We made a lot of money for a great cause. I’m definitely proud of the entire Texas 4000 for Cancer organization for coming together; there were lots of alumni from different ride years and routes that made standing out in the heat worth it!

Coins for Cancer, in Memory of Ruel Bobet

This Saturday, March 31, I’m helping out with a panhandling effort called “Coins for Cancer.” This new event will have the Texas 4000 alumni and 2012 and 2013 teams join forces to raise funds for LIVESTRONG in memory of Ruel A. Bobet, who put up a brave fight until he lost his battle with cancer in February 2012.

This isn’t related to the Survivor Summit climb, but if you hate cancer and want to help make a difference, come visit us and drop off your spare change for a good cause! We’ll be in Austin near Redbud & Lake Austin Boulevard, Barton Springs & Lamar, and South 1st & Riverside starting bright and early at 8 a.m.
