Ride to Negril 2006 - "Ride for Life"

We have been reliably informed that:
Entry forms and Pledge forms are now available at selected bicycle shops around Kingston, as well as, at the office of the Jamaica Cancer Society (JCS)
The pledge forms are for you to document your individual fund raising efforts on behalf of the JCS. Both forms are to be completed and turned into the JCS office by 4:00pm on October, 13th, 2006 (day before the ride).

The entry fee for residents is Ja$500 and non-residents (overseas) - US$30
The fee and and collected pledges are to be submitted at that time as well.
Participant (ID) Numbers will be issued by the JCS once everything is submitted.
The Number is to be worn by participants on The Ride for Life.
The Number will allow you to partake in the sponsored food stops etc.

On Wednesday, September 27th, 2006, the JCS will be holding a press conference to announce their plans for the special month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). Of course, the Ride for Life will be announced as part of their activities. It is likely that the President of the Jamaica Cycling Federation, Vaughn Phang, will be a part of the press conference tomorrow.

Prize for most funds raised for the JCS - Weekend at a Sandals resort.
T-shirts will be given out with the participant numbers on submission of the forms etc. (No jerseys this year!) All transactions for the Ride for Life can be done at and through the JCS at their office -16 Lady Musgrave Rd., Kgn. 5. Forms can also be downloaded from the JCS website (under Current News and Upcoming Events) http://www.jamaicacancersociety.org
