With the help of family, friends and sponsors, Brian
McCandless overcame all odds and completed a
2,045 mile, 26-day cycling tour. Starting in Pittsburgh,
PA, Brian cycled 100 miles a day to Tallahassee, FL.
He rested for two days before completing the return trip
back to PA. Because of the tremendous support
he received, Brian and his team were pleased to
present a check of $14,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation for research.
Brian cycled from Slippery Rock, PA through the mountainous terrian to Harpswell, ME. Once in ME, he cycled through the east coast cities back to Slippery Rock, PA. The trip was completed in 30 days and was just shy of 2,000 miles. Brian was accompanied by a support van driven by his cousin Jake and his girlfriend, Emily. Brian and his team stayed in hotels, churches and individuals homes along the way.
Not only does Brian's Ride raise money for research, it also makes more people aware of this generally unknown disease and helps give hope to children with CF.
