The countdown is on — two weeks until Fabio leaves for Wings Across America!

In case you missed it, our founder is riding across the country — from North Texas to Oregon, California, across the Southwest and back home — to raise awareness for our mission. Fabio will be stopping along the way to meet with all kinds of people — patients, caretakers, nonprofits, cancer organizations — to talk about how they can use the Raquel's Wings model in their own community. The goal is simple: Help more people in more communities get to the cancer treatment they need.

Support his ride by donating a dollar for every day of the ride — 60 in total.

And if you live locally, come cheer on Fabio as he leaves on Sunday, Aug. 2! We'll have more details on the Wings Across America Send-Off posted here soon.
