We have several riders who have been with us from the beginning. However, many others will be joining us along the way...

He says, “One must go where the need is, and right now, that place is Haiti!” He also was a Chicago Marathon finisher and a Pacific Crest Trail hiker and is excited to attempt a bike ride across the America to raise money for a school and orphanage as needy as College Jean Rigaud Antoine and Kingdom Kids.
