At 4pm on Friday December 18th, we at www.theStream.tv embarked on a 24 hour cycling fundraiser for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit fighting childhood cancer with love. The organization was named after a boy named Pablo Castelaz who lost his battle with cancer in June, just 6 days after his 6th birthday. His family's story is an inspiration to us all.
In October, Jeff Castelaz, Pablo's father, rode his bike 3,100 miles across the U.S. to mourn his son's death and to raise funds/awareness about pediatric cancer. We, at theStream.tv, rode a stationary bikes for 24 hours to support Pablove, and I rode for at least 6 of those hours...probably more.
Luckily, I was able to ride side by side with Jeff Castelaz and we had the chance to talk about life after Pablo's death, the importance of art in treatment, the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and the potential band name, "Phone Tree."
Pablove raises money primarily to support Childrens' Hospitals and music and arts programs for children in treatment. If you'd like to support, we're still accepting donations at www.theStream.tv/give All donations are tax deductible.
If you're willing or able to contribute, anything is appreciated.
$25 you receive a double CD from Dangerbird records
(with tracks from Garbage, Oasis, Radiohead, Silversun Pickups, Rilo Kiley, and more),
$50 receives the CD and a case of EVO energy drink,
$100 receives the CD and an autographed photo of theStream hosts,
$250 or more receives a care package jam packed with wonderful goodness.
If you can't donate, please consider sharing the story to others who can. Any and all help is appreciated.
