Candi,
Can you verify the legitimacy of this for the rest of us that don't know
anything about Club Vivo or Jon Myers?

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] Barry and Erik to cross Worlds!
In years past, the Cross Crusdade has donated thousands of dollars to
local cross racers that have gone to the World Championships and Europe
to race. Last year, for example, we donated $1000 to Andy Brooks
(Southern Oregon) to help defray the costs of racing as a junior at last
year's Cyclo-cross worlds.
We will be doing all we can this year also.
Any athelete not automatically selected for the team has to pay their
own way. Barry, Erik, and Rhonda were all discresionary picks and thus
have to pay for the trip themselves. This includes airfare, lodging,
food, and travel,
If anyone would like to have a central location to donate funds to
help these locals pay for a trip to worlds, the Cross Crusade would be
happy to help. We will pass on 100% of funds donated and provide a
public accounting off all funds donated and given out.
If you would like to help in this way, please make the check out to
"club vivo". Send it to:
Club Vivo c/o jon myers
7025 SW 7th Ave
Portland, OR 97219
attn: cross worlds
Thanks, Jon Myers

This is really cool. I can't believe there are going to be 3 guys from
the NW race scene going to worlds.
I'm sure these guys are going to have to fork over quite a bit out of
their own pocket to get there and race.
Has anyone set up a way to donate money for the cause? Or does anyone
have any Ideas on how to set something up?

Both Barry Wicks and Erik Tonkin have been selected
for the US cross world's team. This is a pretty
impressive achievement for them personally and for the Portland
cross scene. I know it represents a lot of work and dedication.
Congrats to both of them!
