Please help fund Amy Williams so that she can buy a new bike and complete the 2016 Transamerica Bike Race. The 17+ day race started in Astoria last Saturday morning and will finish in York, Virginia. The race leaders just passed Yellowstone this morning. The total distance is twice that of the Tour de France and has no rest days.

Amy travelled all the way from England to participate in the race only to have her bike and all of her gear stolen in Oregon only one day into the race. She was left standing outside a caf�� with nothing but her bike kit, phone and her passport.

Her sister has set up a gofundme page here: https://www.gofundme.com/28bnftv8/thankyou?d=4mJ6oSW0ZV4dCyQvHiVYIiWYBfEYnl9H%2B%2BeQNTU1wls%3D#

More about the race here: http://cyclingtips.com/2016/06/trans-am-the-race-that-makes-a-grand-tour-look-short/

Please consider donating few bucks so she can buy a new bike, get back on the road and finish her race.

Thanks! Brad
