‘Office Boy On a Bike’ – Nick’s cycling the Pacific Highway for Cancer Research UK.
I am Nick Brown, a 40-year old ‘Office Boy’ from London, UK, with no experience of cycle-touring or camping. I am currently cycling the Pacific Highway in aid of Cancer Research UK – as four family members were diagnosed with cancer. I am riding from Vancouver, Canada to Tijuana, Mexico, some 2,000 miles. I have already covered two-thirds of the distance and raised £1,213 of my £2,000 target.
I will be riding through Santa Cruz shortly and was wondering if you would be interested in covering my story and/or raise awareness among your networks. Other media outlets featuring my charity ride include the Daily Astorian, KCBY-TV and Cycling Weekly. My exact location can be viewed via TrackMyTour (http://trackmytour.com/mP2pF). Further details on my website (http://www.cycletheuspacifichighway.com). A Press Release available at (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4HLl4foph51M3NoVHNDeWFzNTQ/edit?pli=1).
Let me thank you in advance for your time and cooperation. With best wishes, Nick Brown.
Nick, glad that you contacted me. While I was not able to respond and write about you myself, I am happy to see that our local daily newspaper, the Santa Cruz Sentinel, did publish a nice story about you! Hope you liked it.
