Our community is doing a fund raiser for cancer. How can we get someone famous to appear? Our community is very small and close knit. The ratio of those with cancer in our community is about 1 to every four people. Our commuinty is located in an awesome valley with major biking trails and two ski resorts. The old Hiawatha train route has been revamped into a mrvelous bike trail with over 10 tressels and 10 tunnels, one beig 1.7 miles long. We would like to organize a bike ride for cancer and donate the proceeds to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
