Father-Son Duo Complete Florida State Championship XC Series

Mission1Racing team member Phil Pacini and his son Joe recently completed the nine-race Florida State mountain bike XC series.  As a testament to their commitment to Mission1Racing's sole puropse- to raise awareness of ovarian cancer- Phil and Joe started and finished each of the nine races in the Championship series.  As a result of their effort, Phil and Joe completed the series in 6th and 5th place respectively overall for their race categories - a truly remarkable accomplishment when you consider that Phil was recently recovering from a double-knee replacement and had only taken up cycling less than 15 months prior; his son Joe was recuperating from a broken ankle and fractured wrist and had never competed in any type of cycling event prior to the start of the series as well. 

Congratulations Phil and Joe!  And thank you for all that you have done in Florida for Mission1Racing!

WHY MISSION 1 RACING?

Mission 1 Racing was formed out of the desire to advance awareness of ovarian cancer. The key to surviving ovarian cancer is through early detection and treatment.

Our hope is that through these efforts Mission 1 Racing will reach JUST 1 woman in time to make a difference.

Please be sure to forward our link to others that you care for. And be sure to follow Mission 1 Racing throughout the 2012 racing season on Facebook.
