Erik Voldengen
Through these past four years, I've had a seat (near the rear) on Jim's
medical roller coaster. His story is amazing, and it would be inspiring
for anyone who'd buy him a beer and hear it first hand.
Thank you for supporting the OHSU Cancer Center, which helps great folks
like Jim fight the good fight. I'm so very happy for Jim and his
wonderful family, and honored to call him my friend. This is a very good
cause.
The event info and sponsorship
form can be found here:

If anyone is looking for a rider to sponsor...I'm available :) Let me know,
and I'll add you to my form.
See you out there!
- Erik
