Cyclo Sportif Victoria member to cycle Tour de France route for Crohn's Disease

Friday, 15 May 2009

Damien Watson, a Cyclo Sportif Victoria member from South Melbourne, will attempt to cycle the entire 2009 Tour de France route to raise funds and awareness for Crohn's Disease. Damien will depart Monaco on 4th June, one month prior to the actual Tour de France, and cycle 3,500km through six countries as he makes his way towards the finish line in Paris.

Australian Tour de France stars Simon Gerrans (2008 stage winner) and Baden Cooke (2003 Green Jersey winner) have thrown their support behind the project and will accompany Damian on the 15km prologue in Monaco.

You can follow Damien's progress by subscribing to his e-newsletter here.

The e-newsletter is the major avenue for raising awareness for Crohn's Disease and will provide daily updates throughout Damien's tour.  All subscribers will also be in the running for some fantastic prizes. 

Cyclo Sportif Victoria is proud to support Damian in his endeavours and we wish him all the best.
