Hi guys. Steve here, the guy with the wrecked '05 r6. i don't know when our next gbm is, so i though i'd just post it here.
How many of you know someone who's been affected by cancer? I can already think of 4-5 off the top. There is a club on campus called Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) and they're hosting their annual Relay For Life event this coming April (22nd, i think). It's a fundraising event that's designed to raise awareness against cancer and all the other stuff go with it like smoking, occupational hazards, etc. As for the event itself...
Basically, we form teams and walk for 24 hours. !!! say what? Haha. Yeah 24 hours. But the trick is, the more people you have in your team, the less you have to walk. So for example, if you have 12 people in your group, each person gets 2 hours on the track. HooRAH!
Last year, they had 37 teams participate, and this year, they have 17 so far - frats, sororities, medclubs, opto clubs, whatever they have here on our campus. The signups are ongoing, and I think it'd be great if we go out there as a team and participate. It'll be fun, right? Walking for 24 hours? Well, there are a lot of things to do while we're out there. Some of things they're preparing are:
1. ucsd tritones
2. local bands
3. food stands (all i remember from the GBM is chipotle)
4. free masseuse (pending)
5. games - poker tourney, etc
6. movies
just to name a few. well. i'm getting tired of typing, but let me know what you guys think! i think it'll be great, and it'll be for a good cause. let's show some biker spirit! :rifle:
