The Ride4Hope Book
A heartwarming tale of a group of amateurs cycling across
America by Graeme Bailey
In September 2008 a team of middle aged amateur
cyclists including one very special female Olympic athlete set
off on a 17 day 3086 mile journey across the USA from Oceanside
near San Diego, California to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
This book captures the highs and lows of the
trip including the banter, personal and team challenges that had
to be overcome.
All the proceeds of this book go directly to
Hope House and if you’re struggling to think of a perfect
Christmas gift for friends, family or work colleagues then look
no further.
The Ride4Hope book is a perfect coffeetable
companion and a fantastic conversation piece, and by owning this
piece of history you will be contributing to the continued
support that Hope House provide for terminally ill children and their
families.
