Overland Park, KS – March 2, 2009 – Local triathlete Tim O’Donnell (me - RockChalk1406), of Overland Park, KS, partners with Elite Cycling to help raise awareness support research in the fight against cancer.
Tim is attempting to raise $50,000 by June 21st, 2009 when he steps to the starting line as a competitor in the 2009 edition of the Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene. Tim is inspired to raise this money in honor of his friend, Megan Franz, who lost her courageous battle with cancer in January 2009 at the age of 31. Nearly 150,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are reported each year each year making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States for men and women combined. March is national colorectal cancer awareness month and it is hoped that through Tim’s efforts he will raise both awareness of the disease and additional funding to help diagnose and treat those affected by cancer.
As a proud supporter of Tim’s efforts, Elite Cycling ( http://elitecycling.com/ ) will donate four percent of gross sales, when the promo code “CANCERFUND” is used at purchase, during the months of March and April to his cause. 100% of the money raised will go to the Megan Franz Endowment at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston , TX . ALL purchases, in store and online, count toward the donation Elite Cycle has pledged to Megan’s fund - no products or services are excluded from this event. Please mention the code “CANCERFUND” when making your purchase online or in the store.
Additional donations to the endowment may be made at: http://januscharitychallenge.kintera.org/cda09/megansendowment
