UPDATE:
Illini 4000 for Cancer, a group of 25 University of Illinois students, is planning to bicycle more than 4,000 miles this summer to raise $100,000 for the American Cancer Society Research Fund and Camp Kesem at the University of Illinois, a camp for children who are coping with cancer or who have a parent who has died from cancer.
The students plan to start their ride in New York City and wind up in San Diego. Their effort already has drawn attention from The Associated Press, which distributed a story in late December about Illinois 4000 for Cancer.
The ride is open to students and recent graduates from colleges throughout the United States. Cyclists can sign up for the event here: http://www.illini4000.org/apply.html. The deadline for signing up is Feb. 5.
If you would like to make a monetary contribution to support the cause, you can make donation via PayPal at the group's Web site or you can write a check payable to "The Illini 4000". Checks can be mailed toThe Illini 4000
