Breast Cancer Awareness
 

I am considering organizing my South America trip around fundraising for Breast Cancer awareness. My wife died from ovarian cancer two years ago and I will always be grateful for the help the Susan B. Komen organization provided.

Has anyone here ever organized such an effort? I'm thinking I can get local businesses to pledge 1 cent per mile completed (around $120.00 for the trip)with the money going straight to the Susan B. Komen organization. I've gotten a lot of interest and would appreciate any advice.

I've spent many hours (100's) on this site and Advrider.com but don't recall anyone ever doing the trip in support of charity. What do you all think, could it work?

I think there's a fair few posts on charity sponsorship, but search is never easy. Have a look here:

for some thoughts, but there's porbably a lot more. I say go for it, you'll raise awareness and even in these cash strapped times if you're good you should raise plenty of cash too.

Thanks!
 

Wow! This is just the information I was hoping for. The thread you refered to, and your post, made my day.
