Carlsbad, CA – January 7th, 2008 – X Games Gold Medalist and Three times Dew Tour Champion Ryan Sheckler has partnered with Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) to raise money to help children with cancer. As part of the three month charity program, Sheckler is donating his personal Ranger Rover to the donor who raises the most funds for CCRF. Sheckler is launching the “Sheckler Family Foundation” in further support of philanthropies.

Children’s Cancer Research Fund is dedicated to providing national support for clinical research in pediatric cancer, while improving the medical environment for all children. A Healthier and Happier tomorrow is the mission and promise of CCRF to children and their parents everywhere.
 
The Range Rover will be presented by Ryan himself to the individual who raises the most money for CCRF at their annual 5k RUN/WALK on April 27, 2008. The winner will also receive two tickets to Los Angeles, accommodations and transportation to the event.

“Cancer has affected our family and so many of our loved ones. We want to help make a difference and raise funds to find a cure. Our goal is to raise at least $100,000.00 if not beyond. I am very excited to get this event going as it will be the first of many. The Sheckler family will soon be launching our own foundation “Sheckler Family Foundation.”
 
Fundraising efforts can be made by creating a fundraising page which is directly linked to Ryan’s official site where visitors can then email to prospective donors. For those individuals without regular access to a computer, downloadable forms can be printed and mailed. Deadline for all fundraising must be postmarked by April 10, 2008.
