Ventura is currently preparing to dance the night away at the Fourth Annual Dancing with Chicago Celebrities to benefit the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Chicagoland affiliate. He joins other famous Chicago faces like Miss Illinois Kate Lorenz, CBS 2's Dana Kozlov, NBC 5's Daryl Hawks, ABC 7's Evelyn Holmes, WGN’s Lourdes Duarte and WLS Radio’s Pat Cassidy in friendly competition. Mike Adamle will be emceeing the event and 2008 winner, WGN's Dina Bair, will be a judge and performing a dance as well.
2009 marks Ventura’s first year dancing in the event and also the first year that a member of the active lifestyle community is participating. Ventura is extremely proud of the invitation to compete and honored to be raising money for breast cancer. His mother is a breast cancer survivor.
“I’m happy for the cycling and triathlon community to be recognized,” Ventura says. “I’m totally honored to be a part of this event.” Ventura also has a personal goal of raising at least $10,000 for the event. You can support Ventura by visiting his fundraising page.
Ventura can tell you just about anything you want to know about a bike, cycling and racing on two wheels. As founder of Vision Quest Coaching, many endurance athletes in Chicago and the suburbs utilize his services to up their skill sets for cycling races and triathlons. Now Ventura is heading into a new realm, learning salsa moves with his partner, Arthur Murray Dance Studio instructor Annette Goldman, to compete in the event. And he’s taking the focus, drive and other cycling skills he’s acquired over the years to the dance floor while learning these new moves.
“I’m out of my comfort zone in the dance studio and dancing is a whole different ballgame from cycling,” Ventura says. “Annette is a great instructor and applies my sport to dancing.”
