Calling all Bamacross Racers

Ladies, Gentleman and the like, this is Christian Leask, your faithful web monkey writing you. Many of you know me and a whole lot more don't. If we've never had the honor of racing together, well, then I'm the guy behind this we b page. I've got a big favor to ask all of you.

As a member of the Pacesetter Steel Service cycling team, we do our best to give back, and over the years, we have finally come to an organization that we support continually and we are right at the ends of our fund drive.

The organization is an exceptional place, called Camp Twin Lakes. Together, we help organize the annual Spin For the Kids charity ride, which after four years, is becoming quite the destination ride. In years past, we've had professional cyclists from all over the country, major magazines, Tour de France racers and press and business owners from the Atlanta area and afar really come out and support the ride. Last year alone, one member was able to raise over $100,000 dollars, if you can imagine that.

It's an exceptional organization in that the main goal is to provide children with certain illnesses or disabilities the right and ability to enjoy some of the classic childhood activities that we all take for granted. Without organizations like this, thousands of children would never have to the opportunity to simply cast a fishing line from a canoe, or go for a hike in the woods without being embarrassed or made fun of. It's an amazing organization that has entirely humbled me; as it has opened my eyes to some of the amazing realities that some are forced to live with. And I won't even mention the emotion when you see one of these perfectly lucid little fellas wear it so so so bravely.

If you have the time, please take a minute to donate before this coming Friday. Whether it is $1, $10, $100 or whatever you can spare, I assure you that it will be greatly appreciated and going to a wonderful, simple and attainable cause. I know how easy these messages are to pass up, but I ask of you. If you could just think of how much your lunch cost you today, and donate half of that, that would still be absolutely and completely appreciated. Please, do not glance over this one.

Thanks for your time and consideration. For your convenience, you may donate directly by clicking the following link, which of course, is a completely safe and secure web page.


Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law. Camp Twin Lakes is a registered 501(c)3 organization.

Brent himself has already donated 100.00 to the cause, so let's at least show him up!!!

Best, Christian
