Georgia Chain Gang

Brennan

The Georgia Chain Gang is proud to ride for our Honored Heroes, Warren Bruno and Brennan Simpkins. Their perseverence and courage in the fight against cancer inspire us all.  We dedicate our first and last miles of our RAAM journey to them.

Warren Bruno

We want to know, who are YOUR Heroes? We’d like to honor each and every one of them during our ride by dedicating a mile along the route to them.  With over 3,000 miles to cover, we’d appreciate the inspiration that comes through thinking of all those who have endured an even greater physical and emotional challenge. 

For each $10 donation, you can sponsor a mile dedicated to your own personal hero.  Simply donate on line here and enter a comment with the name of whom you’d like us to honor. We will include them in future newsletters and recognize them as we “Race Across America!” 

We ride for…

Warren Bruno, our crew co-chief
Brennan Simpkins, our 2009 and 2010 Honored Hero

and…
