For any cyclist who's seen the giant green Cannondale team bus driving down the road or at a cycling event, you've seen our friend Silvano Rastelli. He's giving with his time, quick with a joke, and always ready to invite riders onboard for a mid-ride "cafe."

Last week, Silvano  generously donated his time to support a chidhood cancer cycling ride down the coast of California. After returning to his home in Santa Rosa late Saturday, he was awakened in the night to be evacuated as fire was destroying his home. Silvano lost everything, including his pet cat. 

We represent the Pablove Across America cycling team he supported and protected all last week. I am from Los Angeles, am only a friend of Silvano, and I will have zero access to the funds. This fund is being put together by Silvano's friends, the countless riders he has supported, and the cycling community. All funds will go to him. He will have direct access to his funds from GoFundMe, and will be able to use them to rebuild however he sees appropriate.
