The Enduro Tour is a new fundraiser for Kidneeds that is being done by Steve McGuire, with your help.
Who is Steve McGuire ?
Many good people frequently go that extra mile for others.
Steve is going 2711 extra miles for patients with Dense Deposit Disease(DDD), like me.
Steve Thunder McGuire is a Professor of Art at the University of Iowa. He wears many hats
teacher, storyteller, father, husband and bike and adventure enthusiast for starters. He is also my friend. And he happens to be a hero to many people for being in the right place at the right time AND having the courage to jump into the Iowa River to save people's lives 3 different times. (links to stories)
Steve will be biking the Tour Divide from Banff, Canada to the border of Mexico ,beginning June 13th, to help fund research to find a treatment for DDD. It's a rare kidney disease I have, that often causes kidney failure, especially in children. He calls it the Enduro-Tour Divide Ride. I think Enduro-Curo Tour Divide would be good. Either way you can find information on the Ride at: http://www.tourdivide.org/
Steve's goal is to raise $50,000 by having people sponsor miles for him.
*You can choose one mile or 1,000 if you wish.
* You can choose downhill miles, moderate inclines, steep mountain or scorching desert miles.
See SPONSORSHIP page for more information.
Thank you for helping find a treatment!! Jenna
