Story

Race Across America (RAAM) is one of the most respected and longest running ultra-endurance events in the world. Seen as a pinnacle of athletic achievement not only in cycling circles but the greater sporting community as well. 

RAAM is a race. Starting in Oceanside, California on the west coast of America we will ride 3063 miles non stop as a four person mixed team 24 hours a day until we reach the finish at Annapolis on the east coast of America.  The route will take us through 12 States, over the Rockies and Appalachian mountain ranges taking the total feet climbed to 170,000ft.  It's not for the faint hearted, once the clock starts it does not stop until we cross the finish line as a team.

It is the world’s longest time trial…the ultimate race of truth.

In finishing the race we will be the first team made entirely from cancer survivors.  It's going to be hard.  Physically and mentally we will be pushed to a level not yet known to us but it is nothing compared to what children living with and beyond cancer experience.

Please donate what you can, every penny of your donation will go directly into helping kids with cancer.
