Anthony Gallo, Anthony Colasurdo, Richard Keith and Alan Sterner arrived in Annapolis at 4:37pm. They finished in 7 days, 23 hours and 18 minutes and averaged 15.79mph.
Drew's Crew had this to say before the race began:
"Our purpose for this race is to raise money for research to find effective treatments and a curefor NF. NF is a genetic disorder that can cause tumors anywhere in the body. NF can also contribute to learning disabilities, behavior problems, deafness, blindness, cancer, and even death. Drew Budlong, is a 10 year old who was first diagnosed with NF when he was 13 months old. His life up until this point has been filled with doctors visits plus physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Drew is an amazing child who has to work long and hard to do things that to most children his age come easily. Drew has tumors presently, one of which, will need to be removed in the near future. Drew along with nearly 2 million people worldwide suffer from neurofibromatosis and there is no cure.
Drew's Crew is participating in the Race Across America with the NF Endurance Team, to raise money and awareness for research to find effective treatments and a cure for this devastating disorder. Your generous donation, by way of mileage sponsorship, will help children like Drew who live with the effects of NF everyday.
Our GOAL is to partner with enough companies and individuals to raise $100 for every mile we ride. Together, Drew's Crew and its sponsors can make a difference towards the ultimate finish line of finding a cure for neurofibromatosis."
You can be proud of your efforts. You rode well and got a lot of lifetime experiences out of RAAM. They surely enjoyed the crabs they craved during the race in Annapolis.
Congratulations Drew Crew - Well Done!
