New & Noteworthy INTERBIKE CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY
UPDATE: TEAM CARTER
EVERY FALL the largest bicycle show in North America rolls into Las Vegas to serve the industry of bicycle shops and product manufacters. Thankfully for us, the directors of Interbike have recognized the importance of including bicyclists in this show and will be holding a customer appreciation day on September 18 at the Mandalay Bay casino. See our preview on page 14.
INSPIRED BY his five year old Grandson Carter who suffers with Juvenile Arthritis on a daily basis, Jerry Davis organized Team Carter in 2014 when he participated in the 8-day California Coast Classic (the CCC benefits the Arthritis Foundation by raising vital funds needed to find a cure for arthritis).
September 18, 2015 - Las Vegas, Nevada
Team has raised over $100k for CCC
Since we brought you the story of Jerry Davis and Team Carter in our Early Spring issue, the team has grown to 300 riders and raised $100,105 towards their goal of $125,000. With the help of contributions from Team Carter and others, The Arthritis Foundation has found Carter a more effective daily treatment to manage his juvenile arthritis. As Team Carter preps for the 525 miles in September, Jerry is continually impressed by his team mates, saying “Our team has several riders that have been diagnosed with (and fight on a daily basis) arthritis. I’m amazed by all of their strength and determination to do this 525 mile ride.” We wish them the best on their ride this September.
