Texas 4000 for Cancer
Texas 4000 for Cancer was founded in 2004 by Chris Condit, who is a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, as a way to raise money for cancer research and other cancer survivorship programs while spreading hope, knowledge and charity across the continent. Each year since then, a group of college students from the University of Texas trains together and cycles from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK, a nearly
4,500 mile journey taking place over the span of 70 days. Throughout this journey, the team stops in communities across the continent to share stories and present programs and to present grants to various cancer-fighting organizations, among other things. If you'd like to learn more about Texas 4000 for Cancer, please visit
www.texas4000.org. There, you can find information about the organizations we benefit, more about the history of Texas 4000, and the reasons we commit to ride.
We are staying in Logan on June 27th and that we are looking for organizations or individuals who would be interested in hosting the team (which is made of roughly 25 cyclists) for a night or providing any food donations. In the past, we have stayed in churches, rec centers, as well as households as we make our journey.
