Crossing America For A Cure: A Bicycle Journey Of Inspiration And Hope

IN EACH OF US IS THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! In September of 2013, cycling novice Al DeCesaris set out on a solo cross-country bicycle journey in honor of his 9-year-old niece Jenna, who was born with a rare neurological disorder called Sturge-Weber Syndrome. Despite great adversity and arduous challenges, with the support and encouragement of friends new and old, this seemingly ordinary man biked over 3,000 miles from Santa Monica, California to Ocean City, Maryland. And, in doing so, created awareness about Sturge-Weber Syndrome across the country, raised funds to further the efforts to find a cure, inspired numerous individuals to join the fight, and brought hope to Jenna and countless others suffering with this devastating disorder. Experience his bicycle journey of inspiration and hope from its unassuming start in Santa Monica, California to its momentous conclusion, 3,088 miles and 45 days later, in Ocean City, Maryland. Profits from the sale of this book support Sturge-Weber Syndrome research. To learn more about the cause and to help further the efforts to find a cure, please visit www.crossingamericaforacure.com.
