BBA’s Take on Texas 4000

Texas 4000 for Cancer is the longest annual charity bicycle ride in the world, starting in Austin, TX and ending in Anchorage, AK over a 70-day period. Every year a group of about 90 University of Texas students are accepted to participate in the ride. Each rider is expected to raise a minimum of $4,500 (a dollar per mile) to contribute toward Texas 4000’s overall fundraising efforts, which are donated to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the UT Biomedical Engineering Department. To date, Texas 4000 has donated over $4 million to the cause. This year we have 10 Texas BBA students participating in Texas 4000. Visit their rider profiles to learn more about why they’re riding for the cause!
