ORLANDO, Florida- Amazon 5000,www.facebook.com/amazon5000, announced today that Orlando Cancer Activist, Mickey Grosman will have his footsteps mirrored back at home by his fans. Amazon 5000 fans are standing united to promote awareness and spend a day in Mickey's shoes at the American Mud Race (http://www.americanmudrace.com), Saturday, August 25th.
Mickey has trekked over 1,000 miles already in his campaign for cancer awareness. He has had numerous close encounters and life-risking moments but still, him and his team of (6) indigenous forge on. Beginning on the shores of Pedernales, Ecuador they have crossed the country by foot, over the brutal Andes and through the dense Amazon Jungle.
Despite his dramatic kidnapping last week by the Huaruani tribe, he has continued his journey and is now traveling in Peru. Mickey exemplifies his personal motto: Never EVER Give Up!
In support to Mickey and his mission to reignite the fight against cancer a group of fans will represent the Amazon 5000 Team on the American Mud Race's muddy and extreme, 3.4 mile course. Just as Mickey has already, and will continue to, face many obstacles on his 5,000 mile journey, fans will encounter over 18 obstacles on race day.
"Mickey is in the mud and dirt all day out on the Amazon 5000 Expedition. He is going to the extreme for an extreme cause. I feel honored to mirror his footsteps back at home and make a statement to our local community to DO Something in the fight against cancer." Stated fan Katrina Putnam. "I am inspired by Mickey and his passion for the cause and I look forward to being part of his incredible movement!"
Out of the thousands of racers participating in the American Mud Race the Amazon 5000 Team will identify themselves with bright green Amazon 5000 Bandanna's. On a mission to promote awareness for the cause, fans will make their presence visible on race day and make Mickey's voice heard in Central Florida.
