ANNOUNCEMENT
Segway of Central Florida Supports the 2009 Torch Relay for Children's Miracle Network
Event Staffers Will Use Segways to Manage the 44-Day Event
The Torch Relay for Children's Miracle Network is a unique multi-day event where participants walk, run and cycle at forty-four events in cities throughout the country to raise money for their local Children's Hospital. For the second year, Segway of Central Florida will be providing Segway i2 models for use by event staffers to control traffic and assist participants during the events. The Torch Relay begins in Orlando, Florida on October 17th and travels coast-to-coast throughout the United States over the next thirty-two days.
This event began in 1990 as a simple relay throughout the northern Virginia - Washington, DC area. In that first year, the event raised just over $10,000. A lot has changed since 1990 and so has the event, beginning with a statewide relay in 2002, becoming a multi-state event in 2003 and nationwide relay, traveling coast to coast in 2005. Since the simple beginnings of this event, The Torch Relay for CMN has raised more than $5 million dollars for Children's Hospital nationwide.
The Torch Relay for CMN is an exciting and fun event for participants who walk between 3 - 15 miles, run 5 - 10 miles or cycle as much as 110 miles. Every event segment is supported by a team of trained volunteers who travel with the event each year.

The Torch Relay for Children's Miracle Network is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. All funds go to the local Children's Hospital in the city where they were raised.
We invite you to become part of The Torch Relay for CMN team by registering online, becoming a market/corporate sponsor, or donating online. With your help we can all make miracles happen from coast to coast.
