Custom Pink Intense 951 - We have a winner!
The initial goal was a humble one and it was beyond mind blowing to see the readership here at Pinkbike step to the plate for this fundraiser. Over 1400 donations, totalling $33,340.00 were contributed to the battle against breast cancer.
To thank all those that contributed in the battle, prizes were drawn at random. The winner of the Custom Pink Intense 951 is Patrick Culpepper and this was his reaction:
 | First off I just want to say I am freaking out about winning this bike, it's a total surprise for me. Never in my wildest dreams would I think of actually winning this amazing completely decked out ride from Intense and Shimano. I saw the add on Pinkbike a week before the contest was done and saw that the money was going to a great cause and there was a chance to win a new bike in it, so why not? Little did I know one week later I would be receiving this email. I still cant believe it. I am a 22 year old from Columbus Georgia and have grown up riding mountain bikes starting when I was about 11 years old. As of now I am studying industrial design at the Savannah College of art and design in Savannah Georgia, with the hopes of graduating and starting a career in designing bike frames. my whole life is based around mountain biking. I know that breast Cancer is a huge epidemic that tears families apart by taking mothers, daughters, wives, and friends. it is a very devastating condition that thousands are affected by, and we are glad to help with the donation given. Although my family and I are very blessed to not have been affected by this terrible disease. As of now I continue to mountain bike every chance I get. I mostly ride downhill and freeride, making trips to Whistler almost every summer and back home every chance I get to ride the amazing trails me and a small group of riders have been continuously building for the past ten years. My current bike is a Scott voltage 10, but it looks like I will soon be riding a much better one. I think it is great what Intense, Shimano, and everyone else who was involved has done with this donation raffle, and I am sure much was raised. Thank you for this, it is a dream come true and the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. |
