Texas 4000 is a bicycle tour that stretches from Austin,
Texas to Anchorage, Alaska over each summer. The goal of the trek is to
increase cancer awareness and raise funds for research. Each participant has a
goal of how much money to raise and must meet it by a determined deadline. The
riders train extensively to prepare their bodies and their minds for the 4,500-mile
long atlas ride. We interviewed three participants. One, Brooke Willard, rode
in the summer of 2012 and offered us an experienced perspective on the ride.
The remaining two, Abz Zeitler and Tatiana Jessen, shared a hopeful outlook on their
future journey.
