Texas 4000 Donates $50,000 to the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge

March 3, 2009

The Texas 4000, a group of current and former University of Texas students who make the remarkable bicycle ride from Texas to Alaska to fight and raise cancer awareness, donated $50,000 to the American Cancer Society’s Houston Hope Lodge. Please read the Daily Texan article for further details: http://www.dailytexanonline.com/1.1572346-1.1572346

One last note, my name is Jesse. This marks my first post and first week interning for the American Cancer Society High Plains division in Austin, TX. I look forward to many comments, user contributions and many more blog posts this semester.

    I am the co-chair of an ACS bike event that raises awareness and funds for our two Ohio Hope Lodges and other patient services. – The Pan Ohio Hope Ride, 7/30-8/02/09 — it’s our third annual ride. A four-day ride, with overnights on college campuses — we pedal from our Cleveland Hope Lodge to our Cincinnati Hope Lodge.
