LET?S GO, SEATTLE!

Show us your spirit! SEATTLE ROCKS!

The LIVESTRONG ?Show Us Your Spirit? Rally is underway! The ?prize? is a City message and ?tweet? from Lance Armstrong, but most importantly: bragging rights over the other LIVESTRONG Challenge cities in terms of who has the best spirit!

What do we need to do? For the next two weeks, up to May 7, 2009, we need to raise as much money as possible, and bring on as many new participants as we can!

I KNOW that as the newest ? and first ? 2009 event city of the LIVESTRONG Challenge Series, that we can also be the first in registration and fundraising!

Let?s compare the other Challenge Cities (this is where we throw down the gauntlet):

What does Austin have? Longhorns? ?Hook ?Em?? What the heck does that mean?
What does Philly have? A cracked bell and humidity? Rocky? Cream cheese?
What does San Jose have? High tech? Heat and earthquakes?

? but ?

What does Seattle have? Clean air, snow-capped mountains, the ocean, lakes, hills, forests, a huge cycling and running community, and an amazing group of LIVESTRONG people with big hearts and relentless fundraising energy!

(Call me biased.)

The excitement is definitely building on all sides! The course route is set, the weather is getting warmer ? but we need you to put Seattle on the LIVESTRONG map!

We welcome all Seattleites and out-of-towners to this great event, and LIVESTRONG Challenge participants will enjoy an unforgettable event! The course will take advantage of all aspects of Seattle ? from starting under the Space Needle, to riding through downtown, to closing off a floating bridge for the riders, to taking in the beautiful lakes, hills, mountains and forests that form our topography. This truly will be a unique, fun and challenging ride.

So, go ahead, Seattle! Let?s pick a fight with cancer!

Let?s show Austin, Philly and San Jose who really is number one!

Let?s put ourselves on the map! Sign up for the Challenge in Seattle, and FUNDRAISE, FUNDRAISE, FUNDRAISE!

Gooooo, Seattle!

    UPDATE MAY 1, 2009!

    Seattle is number 2 behind Austin! Let’s keep the momentum going, Seattle!

    You know you can do it – let’s hit the streets, hit up people for donations, or hit yourself (figuratively speaking, that is)! Fundraise for this great organization, with such a great cause.

    GO SEATTLE!
