The Illini 4000 Board of Directors would like to thank Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School (OLMC) for supporting our mission during Catholic Schools Week. During the week, OLMC chose to support cancer research and awareness and fundraise on our behalf.On January 30, three Illini 4000 representatives - Conor Canaday, Mary Russell and Kelsey Lyles - travelled to Southern Illinois to speak at OLMC during their kickoff assembly for Catholic Schools week.The fundraiser was held in honor of those in the OLMC community who have been affected by cancer. This includes 2011 rider Kelsey Lyles’s uncle, Joe Maeser, who is currently fighting colon cancer.OLMC raised over $3000 for the Illini 4000. We thank you for all your support!
