Two Friends. One Country. One Mission.

In honor of America's 250th anniversary, two lifelong friends are cycling coast-to-coast from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, raising $50,000 for Johnnie's Place along the way.

The American Dream is alive, and Johnnie's Place deserves every mile.

Skin in the Game

Both riders are contributing their own funds to cover equipment and travel costs, so 100% of your donation goes directly to Johnnie's Place. No overhead. No hidden fees. Just miles and mission.
