Thanks Pinkbike, You Raised $57,535.77!
To thank all those that contributed in the battle, a grand prize was drawn at random. The winner of the Custom Pink Intense M9 is Mark Cowperthwaite and this was his reaction when asked about why he supported and his cycling background:
 | I am Mark Cowperthwaite, 30 years old and I am an engineer. I live and ride in the lake district in Cumbria, UK. I donated as I am a keen supporter of Cancer research since my wife's father was diagnosed with terminal lung Cancer 4 years ago and subsequently passed away 2 years ago. The pain that the family went through at this time cannot be described and anything that we can do to help others either through the pain or even better to prevent then we are only too happy to help. -Mark |
