Don't let me bring you down, but you guys definitely need to review your perspectives - it's often difficult to write with journalistic style when excited about a subject.
Magic Water came from one of the parents of the kids with cancer, actually the little girl that died. The first time they went into the cancer center to get her first chemo; on the way she asked her daddy where they were going. How do you explain chemo to a six year old? So her daddy said they were going to go get some magic water to help her feel better. That's the name of the charity, Magic Water Project, www.magicwater.org. So, you may be right but I'll risk if someone gets offended.

You are on the money with the content, none of us have a journalistic bone in our body, we're trying to look at other teams sites and they are not a heck of a lot better. But, we're trying

360cycling is the 501c3 we had to form in order to make expense donations tax deductible for larger companies. Magic Water is just a team name at RAAM, 360cyling is the non-profit behind the effort and can also be used by other teams to take in larger donations for expenses while shooting for money for the charities.

I am in San Diego.....also, we had a PR person to help us through some of these things but she is getting hammered at work and has not been a lot of help thus far. I will look through this thread and see if there is some work I can do to make this better. Thanks for taking the time.
