We have been on the road for seven days now… raising money for the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure in Indianapolis. For those of you who have not been in the loop here are the details:
I am on the road with two guys, Daniel Herndon and Daniel Robertson. Daniel Herndon founded an initiative called Forkout.org that helps non-profits raise money by experiential marketing. Forkout.org will be the central location for all the content being distributed during our road trip. You can view the places we will be stopping at the Forkout.org Fan Page.
There is only one catch. Everything that we are using from the car to the hotels are all donated. We still need some help with lodging and food in certain cities. Let us know if you can help! We will be live web casting our trip via the Forkout.org webpage. You can view us live pretty much the entire two weeks of our travels.
We are currently on day 7 of the 14 day tour to raise money for Komen Indianapolis. It has been an awesome experience! We have visited the cities of Fort Wayne, Lafayette, South Bend, Marion, Merrillville, and Indianapolis. We will be hitting the cities of Muncie, Rushville, Columbus, Vincennes, and Evansville. We return home on April 6th!
I wanted to show you a video of a young women we interviewed on the 3rd or 4th day of our travels. Adrienne was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 19 and is now cancer free at 22. She is about to graduate and get married in July. Watch her story!
We still need your help with donations and support for the Komen Cause. We are trying to save 250 women by the end of the trip. When you are getting a mammogram through any type of cancer services it usually costs $100 for each woman. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of breast cancer is curable if detected early.
To give to our cause please visit http://www.forkout.org. Any amount helps!
