Answer

#2 is correct.   to know is proper English.

Answer

#2 is the proper sentence in English.  "to" here serves as part of "know" as a function of an infinitive verb.  Using "for" is not wrong here, it would just have to be rephrased to be more comprehendible.  An example would be, "Take a look at the following sections for the purpose of knowing more about me."  That is understandable but still not as preferable as your #2 example.  In this example "for" just cannot be used with the gerund "knowing".  Check a dictionary for more on "to" and "for" to better understand their usage, because there are multitudes of ways they are both used.
