aking money is nice, making a difference is truly rewarding.
Most people know someone who has had cancer, or is loosing their vision. Too many people know a child with autism. With HUDZ we have taken the opportunity to make a difference, both for people we care about and people we will never know. A portion of the proceeds from each set of HUDZ sold will benefit the following organizations in 2008:
Bastogne Blue - Bikes Belong - www.bikesbelong.org
Brugge Black - Autism Research Institute - www.autism.com
Bordeaux Gold - Davis Phinney Foundation - www.davisphinneyfoundation.com
Eroica Celeste - St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital - www.stjude.org
Ghent Grey - Big Brothers Big Sisters - www.bbbs.org
Paris Pink - Susan G. Komen Foundation - www.komen.org
Roubaix Red - Sickle Cell Research - www.sicklecelldisease.org
San Remo Green - 1% for the Planet - www.onepercentfortheplanet.org
Lombaria Orange - Slipstream Cycling Development - www.slipstreamsports.com
Vlaanderen Yellow - Lance Armstrong Foundation - www.livestrong.com
Wallonne White - Foundation Fighting Blindness - www.blindness.org
Next year it's up to you. In July of 2008 we'll begin taking suggestions for 2009 charitable organizations to benefit. Once a final list has been compiled, in August, you'll get to vote for the ones you want to see HUDZ support for the following year, and at Interbike 2008 we'll announce the new slate of charities.
