[RAAM 2009 - Patrick Autissier] Day - 57

Hi everyone,

Well, as you see on the subject line, I'm doing it all over 
again...but for the last time...I promise!

You have been very supportive over the years. I can't thank you enough 
for that. With your help, a total of $35,000 over the 3 RAAMs has 
been raised for people in need. I have personally accomplished my 
dream of finishing solo RAAM in 2007. I think It's time for me to move 
on and do other things, maybe more normal or less crazy if you will! 
However, I want to do it one last time as I feel like I can do better.

This year will be obviously very special and there will be a lot going 
on during this project. The fundraising will benefit Partners In 
Health and Nashoba Learning Group. There will be also some very 
interesting scientific studies done during the race, using flow 
cytometry so you know a little bit more what we do in our labs.

Finally in the news, a film "Bicycle dreams" by Stephen Auerbach, 
telling the story of the RAAM 2005, will have its world premiere this 
coming Saturday at the Newport Beach Film Festival. Information about 
ticket and hours are posted on my website.

Better than a long email, I encourage you to log on to my website at www.patrickautissier.org 
and see the project, donation info, RAAM route, crew members, etc...

Thank you for your support,

Patrick
