CONGRATULATIONS TEAM VERA BRADLEY - 6TH

Brian Lee, Andrew Lee, Thomas Pintar, Tim Meyer, Scott Karr, Eric Chebi, Beth Goldsmith and Lisa Friedman all rode exceptionally well.

They completed the 3021 mile course in 7 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes arriving at 6:35pm. During that time, they averaged 17.88mph. Excellent effort!

The Vera Bradley Foundation for breast cancer. This disease is rampant and improved treatments and eventually a CURE needs to be discovered. Our team exists to raise this awareness and to help a breast cancer survivor live her dream of riding across the country in RAAM.

Courage. Compassion. Commitment. These are the words that define the fight against breast cancer. We established The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer in 1998 after a very dear friend lost her courageous battle with this disease. Those three words are what defined this team during RAAM.

The new Vera Bradley Center for Breast Cancer Research allows the Vera Bradley Chair in Oncology, Dr. Linda Malkas, and her team to focus on a revolutionary biomarker technology that reveals crucial genetic information. This data could lead to earlier breast cancer diagnosis and more effective treatments and therapies.

Congratulations Team Vera Bradley – Well Done!

In RAAM 2008, a group of 8 racers from Norway showed up and stole the show by setting an overall RAAM speed record. Pride is very high in this division and the competition is intense. Like 4-person teams the 8-person division is intense. The "new" RAAM takes teamwork to very sophisticated levels. Watch them fly!
