A Ride For 3 Reasons
After a very busy weekend, I was going through my e-mail this morning and found this story that was sent to me about Bob Lee, a 65 year old blogger who is riding his bicycle 6,500 miles across the United States to raise money for charity.Bob Lee is the man behind A Ride For 3 Reasons, a cross-country bike ride to raise funding for the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and cancer, and to support hospice care. And Bob is donating every penny he raises (and I mean every penny – not one cent goes to expenses) to these three causes very near and dear to him. Because he has no marketing or expense budget, Bob is completely relying on donations and word-of-mouth to publicize his ride and to get donations.
Bob started his ride on March 22, and is posting daily updates (including photos and videos) on the blog during his ride. He also has a message board for people to share their stories and thoughts.
Quicken Loans is proud to be a sponsor of A Ride For 3 Reasons and we are privileged to have been given the opportunity to donate the new web site and blog for Bob’s ride, (www.3reasons.org).
The buzz is already starting and Bob’s original goal of $195,000 raised has already been met and he is just starting the ride. His new goal of $500,000 should be a piece of cake. With your help to promote A Ride For 3 Reasons, perhaps Bob will raise $1 million before his ride ends in October. It all goes to great causes, so there are only winners in this ride.
