I'M CALLING ON YOU!

I'm calling on all leaders and citizens in all walks of life to move America towards solving the Obesity crisis, especially the childhood obesity epidemic.

Should current trends continue, 75 percent of adults in the United States are projected to be overweight and 41 percent obese by 2015. Per the First Lady Michelle Obama's website, http://www.letsmove.gov/:

"Obesity threatens the healthy future of 1/3 of ALL American children. Obesity rates have tripled in the past 30 years. We spend $150 billion every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing. For the 1st time in American history, our children’s life expectancy may be shorter than their parents’. We must get moving!"

What this tells me is our children are needing
education, guidance, motivation, and support.....

  MY GOALS

As an avid outdoorsman and adventure sports enthusiast, I am using this ride to raise awareness about this epidemic and show children how fun it is being outdoors and staying active. I want to encourage kids to find something they love doing so they'll get active and stay active. Riding, running, hiking, sports - anything that gets them outside and inspires them to live a healthier lifestyle. I'm also raising financial funds to help "US" fight this epidemic. I am looking for donors, strategic alliance partners and sponsors of all kinds, from a bicycle itself, to equipment, clothing, promotion opportunities, etc...and of course financial funds! Our goal is to raise $10,000 towards this important cause.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

Yes, you can make a Huge Difference by sponsoring and/or donating to the cause. Click Here now to donate. Donations will be used to cover my costs for the ride, and afterward as I continue to get out into the community to bring awareness and solutions to the cause, and support worthy organizations who are doing the same.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

SPREADING THE WORD

So with Frosty Wooldridge (famous world traveler and environmentalist) leading us, we already have TV, radio stations, and newspapers lined up in San Francisco to cover our departure from the Golden Gate bridge, June 3rd. We expect to stop in 100 cities along the way bringing awareness to our cause. You can also help spread the word by sharing this site with those you know.

STAY UPDATED

Check out my Fight Obesity Blog to keep up with the latest goings on. You can also stay up to date through Facebook and Twitter (see links above).  I really look forward to reading your comments, words of inspiration, and motivation.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

After my ride, I will be looking for opportunities to speak on this subject. I will need strategic alliance partners to work side by side to get the word out. Especially, to groups of children and corporations to help motivate them to be more physically active. I want to encourage everyone I talk with to find something active they love to do. I want them to start moving and keep moving. I also want to help them actually understand how to eat better in the modern world as well as help their overweight friends win their fight to a healthy lifestyle.

LET'S GET MOVING AMERICA

Let's do this - Together we can make a real difference in the Fight Against Obesity!

And  Remember: 

When setting out on a journey, never consult someone who has never left home.
