Sarah made it all the way!
It's true, I made it coast to coast! Along
with 44 other riders. We all helped each other along
this tremendous journey and it was difficult to
leave. I had tears rolling down my cheeks as I headed
to the beach today and was greeted by my ever so
supportive parents. The comments along the way and
the staff and riders that were there made the trip
a great success! |

Many
thanks to The Raymond Family Foundation who matched
many of our raised dollars and to all the other
people who have helped make a difference for so
many others. Sarah Grant...

About Sarah Grant
Sarah worked as an Occupational Therapist for 10 years;
she then came on board with SPLORE as the Program Director
for 2.5 years, and is now working again as an Occupational
Therapist. Sarah decided to ride her bike across the United
States on a charity ride to support SPLORE with the goal
of raising $20,000. Sarah brought recognition to this
organization through 13 states and a Canadian Province
in the summer of 2006.
She has previously participated in other multi-day rides
to raise money for various causes but has never pursued
a challenge of this magnitude!
"Thank you all for your support and interest.
The enthusiasm from those of you I spoke with
at the MS ride was very encouraging."
