After weeks of interviewing, the Illini 4000 Board of Directors is excited to announce the 2012 Bike America Team. This summer, we will send this dedicated team of cyclists from New York City to San Francisco to raise money and awareness for cancer research and patient services. This year will be the organization’s sixth cross country ride, and we are aiming to raise more money than ever before - $150,000! We are so thrilled to have such a diverse team of individuals who are passionate toward fighting cancer!Below, you’ll find a profile of the 2012 Bike America Team.
