Take the Challenge!

Chafing for a Cause is growing up. We're expanding the team and hope you'll join us. So far we've got commitments from four people to participate with us in the 2010 Austin LIVESTRONG Challenge.

Each participant commits to raising at least $250, with all the proceeds benefiting the LIVESTRONG Foundation and its good work in the fight against cancer. There are options to run (a 5K on Saturday, Oct 23), ride (10-, 20-, 45-, 65-, and 90-mile options on Sunday, Oct 24), or to join the effort without participating in the actual event (bonus: the Virtual Challenge is free to register).

I'll be running the 5K with Hillary and Spencer, and doing the 90-miler with Spencer as well. (Spencer and I'll probably be adding a 5-mile spur onto the route to meet our personal goal of a completing a Century Ride before then end of the year).

But with all the distance options, the event has something for anyone trying to make a difference in the cancer fight. We'd be honored if you joined us!

Updates to come (yes Alex, I'll shoot out an email soon)...
