To raise funds for cancer research, cyclist John Tarlton entered one of the most grueling ultra-endurance events in the world: Race Across America (RAAM). Riders travel almost non-stop from coast to coast—through searing desert and over mountain ranges—in a brutally taxing challenge, 30% longer than the Tour de France and accomplished in half the time. With his family and friends serving as support crew, together they embark on a 12-day odyssey that puts all of their limits to the test.
