We need your help! (an article from Proman's Blog)

We need your help!The Proman UCI Track Racing Team is set to embark on it's first journey overseas to enter into international competition! As we continue to finalize our travel arrangements and accomodations for this two week journey, we are faced with the inevitable challenge of racing abroad - financial support. Recently we were dealt a blow, finding out that we would not be able to stay in the athlete housing facility in Beijing, as expected. We were able to secure a hotel room, but as one can imagine, this greatly increases the cost of our stay in Beijing. Needless to say, we are extremely grateful for the host housing we will have in Sydney! We have been so fortunate to have already received generous donations from our supporters, which have covered our flight expenses, but PROMAN still needs of your help! The team is doing everything we can to work within our budget and keep costs down. Donations are greatly and thankfully accepted. We are excited to announce a fundraising event as well, to take place at the Hellyer Velodrome - food, drinks, and fun racing for all!

It is overwhelming and exciting to think that we will be racing in Australia and China in less than 2 weeks! This maiden voyage is one that we will never forget, one that we are approaching with great humility, respect, and passion. On behalf of the PROMAN Track Racing Team, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us thus far. Over the next 2 weeks we hope to see continued support of our journey.
