Jan. 10, 2007 --
Press Release: The 2nd annual ALS Spin-A-Thon will held be on February 10, 2007. Gather your family, friends, training buddies, tri-clubs and spin to help fight ALS. We are recruiting athletes all over the world to join together on this day to raise awareness of ALS and valuable funds for research. Spin solo or as part of a team, but please join us on this day as we unite to destroy ALS. It's simple, find a high traffic area (indoors or outdoors) where people will notice what you are doing. It can be anywhere. Health clubs, shopping malls, sporting goods stores, or parks where people congregate are great spots.

Background:
In October 2005, The ALS Warrior Poet aka "The Blazeman" became the first ALS patient to ever compete in an Ironman, completing the grueling course in Kona, Hawaii in 16 hours and 28 minutes. His battle through the Lava fields of Hawaii still fresh in his mind and no longer able to compete himself, Blazeman is assembling an army of multi-sport athletes for the War on ALS to end this disease. These athletes, known as Team Blazeman Warriors, will compete in multi-sport events around the world to raise awareness of ALS and valuable funds for research. The proceeds will go to companies like ALS-TDF, MMDA, Project ALS and to individuals with ALS who are in need of financial assistance. Our mission is to end ALS and failure is not an option.
