The 2009 Colorado Trail 550
AN ENDURANCE ODYSSEY FROM LITTLETON TO DURANGO TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
When: August 2, 2009
Who: TOM JENSEN and STEVE STALGREN
What is the race? A grueling 550 mile self supported solo mountain bike race that follows the
Colorado Trail from its start in Waterton Canyon, south of Li􀄴 leton, all the way to Durango. This race only has
two rules: no outside assistance and get to the fi nish!
Why raise money for RAMSTRONG? In the summer of 2008, Tom’s sister, Kristin, was diagnosed
with breast cancer. She underwent a major lumpectomy to remove the tumor. Christmas 2008 brought more
bad news for the family. Tom’s father, Bruce, already a prostate cancer survivor, told the family that he has
leukemia.
We are committed to use cycling to help fight cancer in our community!
What is RAMSTRONG? RAMSTRONG helps cancer survivors and their families pay for basic needs
such as mortgage/rent payments, car payments and unforeseen auto repairs, monthly bills for utilities and
groceries, transportation to and from chemotherapy appointments, medical insurance premiums,
prescription or lab co-pays, wigs and prosthetics, and clothes a􀄞 er mastectomy. For more information, visit
www.ramstrong.org
What is the goal? By the start of the race, we hope to have raised enough money to make $100 for
each mile we ride. That’s $55,000! Imagine the lives that can be changed with that kind of donation
to RAMSTRONG!
