Hello Everyone,

Yes! We will be riding the Cape and raising funds for a cure for Alpha-1!

Again this year, Alpha-1 friends and family are making their way to Cape Cod to travel 160 miles in 3 days to help raise funds for Alpha-1 research. We will be riding with old friends and some new ones. We have a commitment from John Walsh and Dr. Sandhaus to partake this year. To ride as a member of Team Alpha-1, please register with the Alpha-1 Foundation. There is a registration fee, and fundraising is required. The Alpha-1 Foundation will write one (1) check to the ALA for our registration fees and the $500.00 pledge minimum per rider. (This check will represent payment for Alpha patients & families and will not include registration fees and minimum pledges from members of commercial entities.) Whatever is raised over the $500.00 minimum will benefit Alpha-1 Foundation. A two day, 105 mile option is available. Enjoy the scenic coast of Cape Cod as you spend a long weekend with friends and family.

Donations should be made directly to the Alpha-1 Foundation. You can do that by accepting checks (made payable to the Alpha-1 Foundation) or online by referring your friends and family to www.firstgiving.com/alpha-1escape08.
