Wheels4Change - Race Across America

As many of you know, in June 2011 I will be documenting a local woman's cross-country bicycle race. Akron's Cassie Schumacher has qualified for Race Across America -- and she will race SOLO. Cassie will be the first woman from Ohio to complete the race solo, and only the fifth from Ohio to qualify. The race happens annually, and began in 1982.


Cassie will be raising funds for Warriors Journey Home veterans ministry. The 3,000 mile race is 30% longer than the Tour De France and solo racers take NO REST DAYS. the Race begins in Oceanside, CA and finishes no more than 12 days later in Annapolis MD. That's an average of 300 miles per day! The cost to get her and her support team across America is $20,000. Please Make a donation using PayPal to help her raise awareness and funds for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and other veterans' issues.
