Fort Kent to Kittery - MAINE Solo Cross State Record Attempt
Thank you for visiting Matt's fundraising page!
Sixteen months after he broke his femur at the Tuft's Criterium, Matt Roy is back and he's got a mission:
On the weekend of August 25-26 he aims to establish the first ever North to South Endurance Record for the state of Maine (following rules and guidelines provided by the UltraMarathon Cycling Association).
Fort
Kent to
Kittery is approximately 382 miles and includes an estimated 22,000 feet of climbing. He hopes to cover the distance in less than 24-hours.
During the weeks Matt spent using a walker, the months on crutches and the 14-months of physical therapy, he came to realize just how important a part cycling plays in his life. Matt recognized how fortunate he was to have “only” broken his hip. Getting back on the bike wasn’t a matter of “if” but a matter of “when.”
To honor all of the support that he has had, he is ready to prove to everyone that he has made a spectacular comeback and with your help, he will bring hope and support to those who need it most. Matt hopes to raise $10 for every mile he rides. Please help him reach that goal!
The record attempt will be run as a fundraising event for a division of the
Spaulding
Rehabilitation
Hospital , the Dr. Charles H. Weingarten Adaptive Sports & Recreation Program. Please go to www.spauldingrehab.org/ourprograms/adaptivesports for more information about their program.
