If you've been around the shop in the last year, you've probably heard about our bike guru Marty's (aka Martin Sanders) attempt to set a world record climbing the stairs in the Carew Tower. He's doing this as part of the Climb the Carew event to raise funds and awareness for the American Lung Association. When Marty was young he had a hard time breathing with asthma and was very fortunate to overcome the disease to become the world class athlete he is today.
The Vertical Miler category which is 10 times up and down the stairs of the Carew Tower. Marty has been taking the event very seriously and has been following a strict regiment of watching his diet and training for hours on end since he finished last year's event. If you feel like you can, please take a moment and support the cause online. It would mean a lot to him to be able to have so many contributors to the ALA. So far the donations have made it possible for twenty schools in need to receive testing for kids with breathing problems!
