Race Accross America with Team Learning 4 Life

Many of us in the cycling community are familiar with the Race Across America, or RAAM as it is referred to.  One of the ways that this race brings out the best in people is to Race Accross America for the right reason.  This is my way of introducing you to 8 local Inland Empire cyclists--(That will soon be IC3 members!) that have formed Team Learning 4 Life.  The goal of Team Learning 4 Life is to raise funds through the sufferring of these 8 individuals and their quest to conquer the 3008 miles, 100,000 feet of climbing, a few thunderstorms for good measure and the winds and deserts of our great country to support Christian Special Education in the Inland Empire. 

The first cause is Redlands Christian School which has for the last few years supported Christian Education for Special Education in a fantastic learning and loving environment with a very low teacher to student ratio.  To continue funding this program is the Mission of Team Learning 4 Life.  The individuals that have taken on this mission, are varied in cycling experience.  Some members have years of cycling experience and others have the burning desire of their cause to help push them over the Rockies.  Their accomplishment will not be by their strength alone but by seeking first the Kingdom of God and trusting in His provision and strength.  Isn't that where we all need to be everyday?

Only 5% of private Christian schools in California provide for Special Needs Children. Redlands Christian School is one of them.  What would cause men ranging in age from 62 to 17 to do such a thing??  For the love of kids and very special children at that!  These eight men will get on their bikes with the help and support of the school and community to raise awareness and funds for children with Special Needs to be educated. We welcome you to come visit their website: www.teamlearning4life.org and meet some of the kids

If you can support their efforts--you'll be doing the right thing.
