Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2007 — Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing is raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Sacramento and Northeastern California. The Dirty Avocados will be sending two four-person teams to July 2008’s Primal Quest Expedition Adventure race and will use Primal Quest as a platform to raise money to grant a special wish for a local child.

Primal Quest, deemed the “world’s most challenging human endurance competition”, is a perfect fit for an effort to help a child that is enduring a life-threatening medical condition.

According to Adam Doti, one team’s captain and a father of two young boys, “We are so blessed to have our health and to be able to participate in adventure racing. We are living our dream. We just believe that we should use this forum to help kids achieve their dreams.”

Several of the Dirty Avocados have young children. “We are so fortunate to have healthy children and to be able to provide for them. Not all kids are so lucky. We just want to help” said Mike Chastaine, father of three girls, and the captain of the second Dirty Avocados team.

While Primal Quest is still nine months away, the Dirty Avocados are well into their fundraising and training. A component of the fundraising will be raffles for outdoor and sports gear and services donated generously by local companies. For more information on the raffle, the fundraising, the training and preparation for Primal Quest visit DirtyAvocados.com.
