Sister Hospices & ready to ROLL

We are getting ready to roll out of Oceanside, CA today at 12:21. The team will ride together "parade-style" as we head out of town with all of the other teams. At around mile 10 Chip AKA, Ginger, and Becky will pull off and head to the RV. Charles, AKA, Chuckie, and I will ride the next 70 or so miles as we will not have access to the support vehicles until we are outside of Oceanside. If one of us then has a mechanical issue, the other can continue roll toward the rider exchange vehicle and we will not lose time.
Below is a list of our sister hospice along the route. We are proud and honored to be partnering with these wonderful organizations!

Tri for Hospice takes on The Race Across America (RAAM) in 11-days

On June 18, 2016 Team Tri for Hospice, (Charles Fields, Chip Harris, Becky Sage and Karen Buxton) will depart Oceanside, CA and cycle 3020 miles to Annapolis, MD in an attempt to break the RAAM coed team record and more importantly, raise awareness and funds for non-profit Hospices along the route and in the Greensboro, NC area. We hope to promote a wider, healthier conversation about death and dying and spread the message that Hospice provides support, guidance and care not only for the terminally ill but also to families, friends and caregivers. We plan to connect with non-profit Hospices located in each of the 12 states we ride through in hopes that our RAAM Team can be a vehicle for awareness and fundraising in their local community, as well.
Please support us on this epic journey by donating to this worthy cause (click here) and follow us on Twitter , Instagram and Facebook as we make our way across the country. 
Together, we are caring to the finish!
Thank you,
Team Tri for Hospice--Karen, Becky, Chip & Charles
