Team Alpha
Inspired by Lance Armstrong's extraordinary story, several members of our riding group,
inspired by Jim Manley, committed to raising both money and awareness in support of the
Lance Armstrong Foundation's efforts to fight cancer and provide support to it's victims.
Each year LAF presents several LiveStrong Challenge Charity rides which provide an
opportunity for cyclists to join the fight by raising funds while participating in a truly
inspirational event.
In 2008 The Ravinia Charity Champions team was formed to support this effort. With strong
support and assistance from the Ravinia Club, our team raised over $60,000 and participated
in the ride in Austin (Lance's home turf). It was a great experience and we are committed to
return in 2009 and increase our contribution substantially.
Yopu can join the team and raise funds without going to Austin (or even getting on a bike so
I invite you to throw yuor hat in the ring and join us. Be a part of something extraordinary!
