Fighting OMS, One Pedal Stroke At A Time

This fall I plan to ride 450 miles from Boston to Philadelphia to raise awareness and reseaerch funding for OMS.


I’ve teamed up with the Pablove Foundation which was started by Jeff Castelaz and Jo Ann Thraikill in honor of their son Pablo who lost his battle to cancer at the age of six years old.  I met Jo Ann and Jeff in LA and they have been very supportive of our cause, and given that OMS is a paraneoplastic syndrome (disease that is the consequence of cancer), have agreed that 100% of the funds I raise through this bike ride will be earmarked for OMS research.

My goal is to raise $10,000 for OMS through the Pablove Across America bike ride.

Please take a moment to make a donation to support OMS research, to support Keira and her courage to continue to fight OMS, and all the other kids that are living with OMS:

I also want to mention that over the course of the coming year, we hope to raise a total of $50,000 with the ultimate goal of issuing a research grant for OMS. We are planning a number of subsequent events, including the “One More Step” hike we did last year, but have decided to hold this hike in the spring of 2013.

All the love,
Naveen
