This is the summer of Texas 4000! Texas 4000 is a non-profit student organization from the University of Texas that is dedicated to fighting cancer by sharing hope, knowledge, and charity across North America through a 4,500 mile bicycle ride from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. I will be spending 70 days with 45 of my closest friends pedaling through deserts, mountains, cities, and everything in between. We will sleep in schools, homes, campsites, anything that's free. The ride is the eye catcher but the most important part of Texas 4000 is what we do when we are off our bike. As a team, we raise money for cancer research and give programs throughout the ride spreading the latest information in cancer prevention and research. I will be trying to post pictures, videos, daily comments on this blog, but I will also be updating my journal on www.texas4000.org.

Day 4 Winters to Synder

I'm starting to get the hang of this SAG thing. Ben and I were able to get food donated thanks to our charms and the lovely people of Sweetwater.

Kylee and Lane bought some midday pick me up popsicles!


Everyone was pretty excited!

Then we ended the 89 mile day with a gangsta themed rest stop...water guns included
