Rob DeCou races 3,000 miles across America to raise over $20,000 to fight Brain Cancer! Learn more about how this Rotarian accomplished such an amazing goal.
 
Playa Venice Sunrise Rotarian, Rob DeCou, met the challenge of bicycling across the United States in memory of his friend Christina Ahmann Nevill, who passed away in 2013 of brain cancer. Rob decided to dedicate his effort to fund raise to fight brain cancer. He completed his 3,000 mile trip in 11 days 21 hours and 3 minutes! Rob’s ride brought in a total of $21,870.
 
Rob had the support of a variety of groups and individuals ranging from his 9 year old niece who traveled with the team and encouraged Rob over a phone link to his own Rotary Club who sent him a video of them chanting “go Rob go!”
 
Rob categorized the effort as, “spiritually uplifting experience and community building for everyone. It was more positive than I could have ever imagined: it was an incredible journey!”
