I'm Racing for Project C.U.R.E.

On Friday, May 17th, I am very excited to be participating in a racing event with Project C.U.R.E.    Come on out and watch me drive a racing go kart!  These aren't your kids' Go Karts!  

 

















I will be joining Project C.U.R.E. and sponsor K2 Adventures Foundation at Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving for the Fast and the C.U.R.E.ious Racing Challenge. 


Twenty-five teams will compete for the coveted Fast and the C.U.R.E.ious Racing Challenge Team Trophy. 

Each member of my team will drive one of Bondurant's 10hp Briggs and Stratton powered ProKarts which are capable of speeds over 50mph and easy to drive fast right from the start.

The individual with the fastest time will win a 13-day community based adventure, a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro and a one day safari.  This trip is graciously donated by K2 Adventures Foundation and is to be redeemed in the summer of 2014 as an already established K2 trip (does not include airfare). For more information please visit www.k2adventures.org.

Sounds like fun, huh?

Wish me luck!!

K2 Summer in the City Event



I am proud to announce that Irion Books, LLC is a major sponsor of the K2 Adventure Foundation's 3rd Annual "Summer in the City" event at the Ritz Carlton in Phoenix, AZ on May 19th.  K2 Adventures Foundation is a qualified 501c(3) non-profit national and international organization whose mission is to care for children and families with special needs and or life changing medical circumstances by providing services and funds that will be used for educational and medical enrichment.

Kevin Cherilla and Kristen Sandquist are the co-founders of the K2 organization and I was lucky enough to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with them in June of last year.  Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience and I used it as research to formulate the plot and excitement that you will find in Murder on Kilimanjaro, the final book in my Summit Murder Mystery series due out in October 2012.


The 'Summer in the City' event will feature a luncheon and fashion show, shopping from local vendors and silent and live auctions.  The best part is that all the monies raised from the event directly support local and international charities and the Mwereni Integrated School for the Blind in Tanzania.

To register for the event, please CLICK HERE! 


I am looking forward to sharing photos from the event, so stay tuned!
