Texas 4000 For Cancer
The LIVESTRONG Texas 4000 for Cancer or Texas 4000 is a 501(c)(3) Federally registered non-profit organization and the longest annual charity bicycle ride in the world. Each year a new group of almost 60 University of Texas at Austin students make a 70 day, 4,687 mile bike trek from the Texas campus in Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. Each rider meets training and community service expectations as well as a $4,500 fundraising goal that goes toward Texas 4000's mission of Hope, Knowledge and Charity from Austin to Anchorage. To date, Texas 4000 has donated over $4 million to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the American Cancer Society.
