The Mission StatementThe mission of the Choo Choo Challenge is to raise funds to support the important work of Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Resource Center in Chattanooga, TN. The Cancer Resource Center offers a team-based, holistic approach to care for cancer patients, survivors and their families, at no cost, irrespective of the patients' primary physicians or hospital affiliation. The EventThe Choo Choo Challenge is a 2-day cycling event that spans approximately 185 miles through beautiful Southeast Tennessee. The route will wind through many of the communities in the service area of the Memorial Hospital Cancer Resource Center. Cyclists may choose to ride every mile of the two-day event. Alternatively, cyclists may define their personal challenge by choosing instead to ride any portion of the route. Every twenty miles along the route, the Choo Choo Challenge will feature water stops staffed by enthusiastic volunteers where cyclists will find food, entertainment, bathrooms, medical assistance, and mechanical support, if needed. Throughout the weekend, cyclists are encouraged to invite family members along for the food, fun and festivities! The GoalWith a minimum fundraising goal of $250, each of the cyclists will bring a firm commitment to support the Cancer Resource Center. With the anticipated unrelenting support of 500 volunteers, 300 cyclists and strong corporate sponsorship, the Choo Choo Challenge has set a fundraising goal of $300,000 for its second annual event, scheduled for June 5th and June 6th of 2004. The Choo Choo Challenge donated 92% of the fundraising proceeds to the Cancer Resource Center in 2003 and expects to do the same in 2004. Unlike many other nationally recognized cycling events, all of the funds raised will stay in the community to support Southeast Tennessee's battle against cancer. For Additional Information
