Two Wheel Driver Launched!

Nov. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA – TWO WHEEL dRIVER, a philanthropic road show fusing motorcycles, golf and music to raise money to fight and prevent cancer,  is very proud to announce that $8,000 was raised during its inaugural golf and music event which took place in Atlanta on October 22nd and 23rd at Wolf Creek Golf Course and Smith’s Olde Bar.  

“We had great weather, an immaculate golf course and a renowned music venue,” said the project’s founder, Mark Augustyn. Three prominent bands, Bain Mattox & Shot from Guns, The Beggars’ Guild and The Wrights lent a hand to provide a quality show. “It could not have happened without the support of the people who attended. It is amazing how many people have been touched by cancer and how much they want to help,” said Augustyn.  

On Friday, November 7th, the TWO WHEEL dRIVER crew delivered a check to Dr. John Barnes with the Georgia Center for Total Cancer Care located in Blairsville, Georgia. “Thanks again for your generous donation of time and money for our patients. It will be put to good use for the patients’ comfort, treatment and education.  On behalf of the patients, nurses, technicians, therapists and doctors, thanks again,” said Dr. Barnes.

“Delivering that check was a proud moment for TWO WHEEL dRIVER,” said Augustyn. “The dream of this organization is coming into fruition. We look forward to building on this event’s success and delivering more checks to organizations that fight and prevent cancer.”

TWO WHEEL dRIVER would especially like to thank the following for their support: KTM North America, BikeBandit, 13thGreen, Smith’s Olde Bar, Fox Bros. BBQ, Sweetwater Brewery, United Distributing, Sierra Nevada, The LvngRm, Edwin Watts Golf, Golfsmith, Bridgestone Golf, The Vortex, and the Atlanta Police Department.

On Thanksgiving of 2003 Mark Augustyn lost his fiancé, Randee, to cancer.  TWO WHEEL dRIVER is Mark’s journey of healing that has manifested into a unique philanthropic road show combining motorcycles, golf and music to raise money for local cancer causes.  In the vein of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round, TWO WHEEL dRIVER is a traveling tribute to Randee and everyone else who has been touched by cancer.
