Unusual Future Investmentby Vince PoscenteAuthor of The Ant and the Elephant, Invinceable Principles and The Age of Speed This message is for all of you who know what it's like to take on a big challenge. You know deep down, the decision to challenge yourself made you a better person. Stepping up to any challenge became part of your DNA.
Last year Noah attempted to complete the 2,490-mile, backcountry, Great Divide Race from Montana to New Mexico on a bicycle. The race is done alone. Noah's knee and funds ran out of steam but his desire didn't. He spent the last ten months training every day for a return to this solo feat but he learned he cannot do it alone. Cheering him on are people like you and me. Supporting the dream of a young person is no different that making an investment in the future we will hand off to the next generation. Noah needs unique support to fulfill this dream. Listen. When I started ski racing at age 26 I found out very quickly an unfortunate reality. Noah isn't dying from a terminal disease. He is not raising funds for poverty, sickness or some extraordinary charity. He is a young man that will represent the ability that we all have to reach beyond the norm. I want you to know that some people actually did believe in my dream to ski in the Olympics. I did get sponsorship money and services along the difficult path to march in the Opening Ceremonies. My sponsors never expected anything in return but I think about them every day. Today, I spend my life contributing to our world. Every book I have written, every speech I deliver, each life I touch has the fingerprints of people like you who believed in a young man. This message is written for Noah to know that people that barely know him believe in him. This letter is written to inspire you to join Noah in his quest to set the wheels of human potential in motion. He has plans to go back to college. He has a future that awaits his contribution. Noah needs $4,000 to complete the race. Noah has saved $1,200 of his own money but since time is running out, you and I can step up and invest a small amount in a young man willing to test his resolve. If 80 people contribute $35 his sponsorship is complete. I've made it simple for you. I will manage all donations that are paid by credit card. I will cover the 2% to 3% credit card company fees and ensure 100% of your money goes towards Noah's racing fund. Click here to donate money to Noah's Racing Fund. Just choose the level of funding you wish to provide. Next month your credit card statement will read Vince Poscente International. If you wish to donate by check. Please make it out to The Noah Dimit Racing Fund. Please select a donation of $35 (or more if you're able to be more generous). We will reconcile the funds and send him one lump sum. Before June 18th, 2008 send your check to: The Noah Dimit Racing Fund NOTE: If we manage to raise more than $2,800 then the surplus will be forwarded to Make a Wish Foundation. I'll post the final amount raised in a future article. To learn more about this race then check out: Finally, we will post Noah's results as we get them. www.fullspeedaheadblog.typepad.com/vinceposcente Thank you in advance for making this unique investment. One person can make a difference. That person can be you!
