Support Colin as you get a chance to win some great mountain bike prizes at his GoFundMe page - https://www.gofundme.com/one-more-time-for-colin This week, I'm honored to be able share some time I spent with Colin Meagher, mountain bike family member, and one of our sport's finest photographers. In this emotional episode, we discuss his career and history, but get into his battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. This debilitating disease is, as he puts it, melting him. Colin is slowly losing muscle control in his arms, shoulders and mouth, and that control will never return. Learn about how Colin has inspired mountain bikers and photographers throughout the world with his images and kindness, learn about the impact ALS has on his life and please take the time to support him. #onemoretimeforcolinColin, we love you and we know you'll continue to impact more people, despite your illness. -ShawnFrom Colin's fundraising campaignColin Meagher needs your help. If you’re reading this, odds are you’ve probably been touched by Colin’s work. Colin’s photos have graced the pages of mountain bike magazines and websites around the world for more than two decades now. Colin Meagher is a rider’s rider. A mentor to a hell of a lot of other photographers. And just an incredibly good guy. Now, Colin also has ALS—a disease that is robbing Colin of his life, his livelihood and, if we don’t pitch in to help with his rapidly-growing medical expenses, his family’s finances.ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. There is no cure. Instead, there are mounting medical bills. Colin and his family need help in offsetting those costs. A group of us, Colin’s friends and supporters from the bike and outdoor industry, have created a GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/one-more-time-for-colin). Our goal is to raise funds to help with medical costs and many of the other things this disease makes necessary, from home care to necessary devices not available through other means.We will also donate a percentage of all contributions to http://www.alsa.org, to help find a cure.We’re asking you to rally for Colin and help out with a donation. For every $10 you donate, you get one entry into the raffle. See below for the list of prize packs. How it works: For every $10 donated between 12–17–18 and 11:59pm (PST) of 01–04–19, you’ll get one entry into the raffle. $100 = 10 entries (math, bro) The winners will be selected at random.
