Raising awareness and money for research

Cancer

Hi, I am hoping to be able to complete a fundraiser to help fund cancer research. I have chosen cancer as the cause to help with because friends of mine have suffered and passed on from different types of cancer. In brainstorming a way to raise money I came up with a bike ride across the country. Riding from my hometown of Erie,PA to somewhere in California. I am posting this for opinions. Do you think its a good idea? do you have suggestions on how to publicize? How should i go about starting something like this? please let me know what you think!


Idea!

Read my Forum post about Supporting the Ones you Love!

What would you think about selling "The Hands Kit -- Connected by Love" as a fundraiser, where a % of profits would go to Cancer research!??
