A break from the usual programming to introduce ya’ll to Corporal Angel Cadena. Jolt Energy Gum is proud to announce that we are sponsoring him for the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, an endurance race from the Florida Keys all the way to (no joke) Alaska, the proceeds of which go to plenty of deserving groups.

Corporal  Cadena enlisted in the Marine Corps in June  2006. Active duty and a Veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Angel is looking forward to the next phase in his life in which he plans on majoring in Political Science at Southern Connecticut State University and spending time with his newborn daughter. Here’s what he has to say.

The Challenge which will take place on June 20, 2010, is an endurance race from the Florida Keys to the Peninsula of Alaska.  The Hoka Hey Motorcycle challenge supports many military and civilian charities some of which include the Vietnam Veterans of America, Disabled Veterans of America, American Indian College fund and many others. The prize for being the first (hopefully me) to complete the challenge is $500,000 worth of gold.

I am looking for secure several sponsors to help secure entrance fee for other Veterans and myself.  Riding accessories to help on the long journey and just plain words of encouragement.  If you would like to sponsor me or one of the other veterans involved in the challenge  please contact beth.durham@hokaheychallenge.com with details of how you would like to support your troops. Thank you Jolt Gum for your sponsorship… Till We Speak Again — Angel Cadena.
