Virgin Tour de USA?

Hello All: I'm still working on generating some interest in the Prostate Cancer Tour de USA in 2010. The good news is that we have received our formal "Tour de USA" trademark registration from the US Patent Office. The bad news is that we still are challenged in getting men to think about testing annually for the Number Two cancer killer of men, and in getting companies interesting in engaging with us. That said, we continue to save lives one man at a time as we talk to men about the disease.

I just submitted the Tour de USA for consideration as one of the Virgin Group's "Virgin Unite" charity initiatives. It would be great to have Richard Branson ride a segment with us.

The 2010 ride will go from statehouse-to-statehouse and we need volunteers to make arrangements for those stops. So, it you have a few minutes and the desire to help, check out the route in our previous post and send us an email to see how you can help.

Tour de USA Route

The inaugural Tour de USA for prostate cancer awareness will take place in June, 1010. The ride begins in Sacramento and the tentative routing is as follows: Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin (H-D headquarters), Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Washington, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas (panhandle), New Mexico, Arizona, California.

We are looking for assistance coordinating PR stops at Harley-Davidson dealerships along the way. There also are a few spots on the core group who can ride the entire distance.

If you are interested in riding or would like to help, send an email to TourdeUSA@29000men.org.
