Bike For Kam

San Francisco to Santa Monica (April 25-29, 2011)

I wanted to share a project that friend and fellow artist Kam is involved in. Kam is a very talented artist who has HIBM: Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy. It is an extremely rare genetic muscle debilitating and degenerative condition. It causes progressive muscle wasting and weakness that begins in young adulthood and can lead to a quadriplegic state within 10-15 years. Because of it's rarity there isn't the funding or support for funding of research to find a cure for this disease. Bike for Kam is trying to raise awareness and funds for research through a bike ride from San Francisco to Santa Monica. Here is the video that tells a little about Kam and the project:



Please check out the official bikeforkam.com website. There is a lot more info about Kam and the project there.


You can also buy shirts designed by Kam to support the cause:
