Cult of Mac needs your help to raise money to help fight blood cancer. And we need it ASAP!
This morning, Leader will be up in the California Alps, where he will be undergoing The Death Ride, an extremely challenging 130-mile bicycle route that goes up and over five mountain passes in the awesome Sierra Nevada. Leander is doing all of this to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training Program.
The Death Ride? As its name suggests, it is absolutely fricking insane. It amounts to 15,000 feet of climbing in one day, most of it between 6,000- and 9,000-feet above sea level, where the air is pretty thin. Here’s the elevation map. For an idea of how high that is, see this amazing infographic. It’s a masochistic ordeal.
With just a few hours until the Death Ride starts, Leander is still short $250 of the minimum $3500 pledge he needs.
Please, if you’ve got any money to spare, consider pledging it to Leander. I don’t know if you’ve seen Cult of Mac’s Editor-in-Chief, but he’s not exactly in what you would call peak physical conditioning. Most of the time, he’s really more martini than man. That Leander’s going to ride 130 miles up and down mountains today until the meat sloughs off his bones is an awesome enough feat for him to accomplish without him having to pay $250 out of pocket to do it.
Here’s the link to support Leander. All donations are tax deductible. Help Leander out, would you? This really is for a very good cause.
