Chris Siestrup made history becoming the first person with hemophilia to not onlycomplete the Tour Divide but also WIN the race! Chris competed with over 140participants over the 2,745 miles long course. He fought through snow, rain and howlingwind to complete the ride in 15 days, 11 hours and 24 minutes.

We couldn't be more impressed with Chris's amazing accomplishment and his dedicationto carry on Barry Haarde's legacy of riding for Save One Life. His efforts, in addition tothe community ride in Ipswich, MA on June 23, helped Save One Life exceed ourfundraising goal of $25,000. Overall, Wheels for the World: Lost on the Tour Dividehelped us bringin $32,587!

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this event and our amazing sponsors forhelping make this happen! To learn more about Chris's historic ride, click the link belowto read our interview with him.
