[RAAM '07 - Patrick Autissier] Only 10 days before the start

In this newsletter, you’ll find:

1. Cytek Development joins the pool of sponsored flow-based companies
2. More than $10,000 raised for Partners In Health
3. One-way ticket to Oceanside, CA

1. Cytek Development joins the pool of sponsored flow-based companies

Cytek Development, a company that develops and sells flow Cytometry product in support of the flow Cytometry community, has become sponsor of the project. With this kind support, Cytek Development joins 3 other flow-based companies and/or association, Coherent, Treestar and ISAC. I’m so proud of the involvement of the Flow Cytometry community in this project and fundraising, and so proud of course to be a member of this community (a.k.a FLOWers).

2. More than $10,000 raised for Partners In Health

As of today, $10,020 has been raised for Partners In Health. One could think that this amount of money won’t help a lot, in regard to the extreme poverty of millions of people around the world. However, do you know what Partners In Health can really do with $10,000? They can for example:

• Cover the costs of treating malnutrition for 100 children.
• Buy a year's supply of lifesaving antiretroviral drugs for 80 AIDS patients
• Provides clean water for an entire village

It is literally the difference between life and death for these people. So, please donate here. There is no small donation for these people.

3. One-way ticket to Oceanside, CA

We’re only 10 days before the big event will start, exactly on Sunday, June 10^th at 12PM EST. We’re going to pick up the vehicles tomorrow, load them with my 2 bikes and all the equipments that we will need for a 10 to 12 days journey. 2 crew members, Jerome and Christian, will leave Boston Monday morning and drive the vans to Oceanside, CA. They should be there Thursday night. The rest of the team will fly out to San Diego, CA next Friday. We’ll have Saturday to set up everything, make sure that the bikes are pumpedJ, and then we’ll be ready to go the other way, 3,044 miles east, to Atlantic City, NJ.

Best regards to all,

Patrick
