September 4, 2009

Phillip Nagle UPDATE & New VIDEO’S – from Andrew Dom –
We are currently in South Dakota about 140 miles from North Dakota! Picked up state 39 and 40 today. The wind has been coming from the east all day and has slowed Phil down a lot. Hopefully the wind starts blowing east like it’s supposed to soon! Everything else is going good, as Phil has conqured the Rockies and cycled for over 6,500 miles!

There are two new videos posted to our youtube channel. Check them out they are pretty cool.

Phil Nagle Reaches the 3,000 Mile Marker on His 8,000 Mile Cycling Journey to Raise $48K for Cancer Research

August 10, 2009

160 miles per day. That is about 10 hours on the bike per day. When you went to work today, Phil was on his bike. When you went to lunch, Phil was still on his bike; and when you had dinner – you guessed it… Phil was still on his bike! While we are sitting in our air-conditioned office tapping away on our computers or watching TV, Phil is riding through mountains in the smoldering heat, on a mission to raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. When Phil completes his journey, he will be the first person to ever accomplish such a task.

Phil just passed the 3,000 mile marker and is headed to Little Rock, Arkansas. His legs still feel good and his voice is always positive on his phone messages that he sends to his followers every day.

Phillip Nagle is Still Pedaling After 2,000 Miles & 1 Crash!

August 3, 2009

Phillip Nagle is now 2,000 miles into his 8,000 mile quest to raise $48K for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Yesterday was particularly treacherous not only from being chased by 20 different dogs while trying to climb mountains in Tennessee, but the final dog ran out and front of him, causing him to wreck. He is okay, but he has what cyclists call, “road rash.” It is a condition where the asphalt takes of a layer of your skin. It is totally uncomfortable and painful, but Phil bandaged his wounds, and got back on the bike again.

It is DAY 17, and 25% of the journey is over. Phil is only about a day behind, but they had planned for 1 day of contingency. If Phil completes this ride, he will set a new world record and will be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. Today he is headed for the Carolina’s.

Day 5 – Phillip Nagle Still Pedaling on his Mission to Raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

July 24, 2009

Some people think he is crazy for attempting to ride so many miles in 48 days. I even had a friend bet me a pair of Speedplay bike pedals that he wouldn’t make it. But I am a believer: He’s going to make it. I know it. I hope you will be a believer too.

At the end of the day on July 23rd, Phil was 550 miles into his 8,000 mile journey to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Today he is headed for the beautiful state of Vermont. Being a flatlander from Ohio, Phil went above what his training had prepared him for and conquered the hills in the Allegany National forest in New York. “My legs are a little sore,” he admitted humbly. (I wonder how he is going to feel when he hits the Rockies!) I have to confess that I wish that I was riding with him: A ride like this comes once in a lifetime if we’re lucky. And to ride for such a mission makes it even more special.

Phillip Nagle is riding his bicycle across 48 states in 48 days to raise $48,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

July 17, 2009

One Call Now is proud to sponsor Phillip Nagle on his quest to cycle through mass quantities of pain by riding across 48 states in 48 days. Phillip is dedicating his campaign to his uncle, Alvin Nagle, who died of leukemia as a teenager. Alvin was ambitious, athletic, and always helped others.

As an avid cyclist, when I heard about this campaign, I thought he was crazy. But after reading about Philip on his website at go48in48.com, I immediately admired his dedication and vision. It will be an epic journey that I cannot wait to follow, and live vicariously through, particularly the southern states and up into the beautiful American Northwest. The level of self determination and willpower necessary to take on this level of effort is truly amazing and inspirational.
