Almost $80,000 for a Bicycle?


In this story, the dealer bought the bike from the customer. The guy wearing black is Lance Armstrong! The other guy is a bike dealer who sold Lance Armstrong his first Schwinn bicycle when Lance was a kid.
Lance Armstrong rode the bike in the picture, autographed it, and sold it at an auction that benefited the MACC Fund which raises money to fight childhood cancer!  The bike dealer in the picture bought it.  It sold for almost $40,000. Lance matched the purchase price with a donation of his own.  So, all-in-all, the bike raised almost $80,000!

It was really great to hear Lance talk.  He is quite generous!

Hi. I’m Connor Tullis. I am eight years old. One of my best friend’s mom died from cancer.

In August, I am going to ride my bike from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie in memory of my friend’s mom. The trip is more than 200 miles—more than 150,000 revolutions for each of my bicycle’s wheels. I hope that each revolution will lead to a cure for cancer.

Too many kids lose parents to cancer. I hope you will join me in the pursuit to cure cancer.

The change you make can lead to revolution!
