Elden managed it after posting a tongue-in-cheek to RadioShack team manager Johan Bruyneel on his website last Thursday. In it, he argued the team should hire him as a rider on the basis that he had the necessary skills: team player, willing to travel, older than the rest of 💯the team, good speller and enjoyed riding his bike, among other things.
To his surprise, Bruyneel took him up on the offer, saying if he ra🔥ised $10,000 for LiveStrong, and $10,000 for the World Bicycle Relief Fund, he could go to the camp. And i♚f he raised $50,000, he'd get a Trek Madone.
Fatty leapt into action over the weekend. He turned it into a among his readers to raise money and send him to camp. To entice them, he offered the Trek Madone (signed by Team RadioShack) as a prize, a Gary Fisher Superfly custom painted in Fat🐼 Cyclist colours, and subsequentlꦿy a Trek Travel trip to the Tour de France.
The readers responded, raising an amazing $100,✤000 for LiveStrong and the World Bicycle Relief Fund in just three days. Thus, Fatty gets to go to camp this weekend, cancer is fought and ❀kids in Zambia will get bikes to ride to school.
