Calling all Cyclists, Music fans, & Friends! Come to the "Mike Tague Rally and Ride" January 29, 2006 Bryant Park, Lake Worth, Florida This rally and ride is to benefit Mike Tague, cyclist, musician and friend to many. Mike, President and Director of CycleFest Inc., is severely ill with lymphoma. He is currently undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatments at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach. When the disease was discovered, it had already progressed to the point that without immediate aggressive treatment, Mike would not have survived. He has been hospitalized for nearly two months so far. The irony of this is that as a director of CycleFest for the past seven years Mike has worked to make CycleFest a major fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma's Society Team in Training (TNT) program. TNT riders from all over the country, participating at CycleFest, have raised over 2.5 million dollars for this great organization. Now Mike needs your help in his own battle with lymphoma. This is why Mike's friends are organizing the "Mike Tague Rally and Ride" at Bryant Park on the Intracoastal Waterway in Lake Worth, FL on Sunday, January 29. The Event: The ride will be about 25 miles starting at 8:00AM at Bryant Park, and returning to that point. After the ride, around 10:00AM we will have food, drinks, and live music including folk, bluegrass, and blues at the park for everyone to enjoy. Mike has a broad and diverse group of friends and this Rally is for everyone, not just cyclists, so bring your friends and families. We will also have a "Giant Card" for everyone to sign and will be taking pictures of everyone at the rally to let Mike know we are with him and his family in his fight against cancer. There will include a silent auction for great items such as week-long vacations, surfboards, and bike stuff. There will also be many smaller raffle items, and other fun events such as a unicycle contest. Directions to Bryant Park: Bryant Park is in Lake Worth at the East end of Lake Ave and the foot of the Intracostal Bridge. Look for the band shell across from the Gulf Stream Hotel. We are encouraging everyone to help Mike with a financial donation. As you might imagine, the financial cost of months of hospitalization and treatment is huge. Mike has limited insurance and no income during this tough time. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for Mike to help him through this difficult period. We strongly encourage everyone to make a generous donation, whether you are able to attend the Rally or not! Please do not delay and write a check today. Let Mike and his family know that we are all on their "team." Mike has worked tirelessly to help others, now WE need to help him. Donations will also be accepted at the Rally on January 29.
