2010 E-Rock Registration Form Coming Soon

For the past few years the CNI Center for Brain & Spinal Tumors has been a beneficiary of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival. Again this year we have the opportunity to field a cycling team of 100 riders. Won’t you consider joining the team in supporting this CNI Program?

Be a donor, assist as a fund raiser or ride one of the many courses. With so many different courses, start times and riders of different abilities, riders will not necessarily be riding together during the day. Ride at your own pace and watch for the Team jerseys along the course. Gather at the CNI Tent afterwards and share stories.

Monies collected will go directly to support such services as research development, The HeartStrings Project, and numerous other patient support services, including Healing Services and the Patient & Family Support Group.

Reaching Forward…Together
The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival 2008
Medical Chair – Edward Arenson, MD
Community Chair – Susie Wargin – 9News Sportscaster

"Becoming involved with CNI was a “no brainer” in 2007 when I heard about the wonderful work they do with their patients and how they are able to help patient’s families through the Heartstrings program. Ironically, a year after becoming CNI’s Community Chair, my husband had a benign brain tumor removed and we relied heavily on the expertise of Dr. Arenson and the great people at CNI. Amazing how life can come full circle. I am SO proud to ride in the 2010 Subaru Elephant Rock Ride with a CNI jersey on my back. By signing up with our CNI team to ride in the Subaru Elephant Rock, you will help patients and their families with meals, household chores and many other necessities that aren’t always top of mind when a loved one is going through major medical treatment. Trust me, I’ve been there and everything slips your mind. Join our 2010 team, buy a cool jacket or just make a donation. The great folks at CNI will see to it that your gift is put to good use.Hope to see you on the road – make sure you say hello if you see me!”

“The Annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival is the principle fund raiser for the CNI Center for Brain & Spinal Tumors which helps us to carry out our mission: To create and develop a program for all patients with tumors of the central nervous system that will provide the most effective, comprehensive and compassionate care available, and to maintain a team of committed professionals who tirelessly strive to improve survival and quality of life for their patients.”
