Team FARA was featured in a recent RAAM 2010 Race Recap:
"Team FARA raced to raise money and awareness for the genetic, neuromuscular disease, Friedreich's Ataxia. Two of the racers on the team, Kyle Bryant and Sean Baumstark suffer from the disease, which attacks the muscles and causes life-shortening heart disease. Kyle is further progressed and raced riding a specially designed tricycle. Although Kyle spends much of his time these days in a wheel chair, he is one of the spokespeople for FARA and his continued cycling and fundraising efforts have garnered roughly $1,000,000 for Ataxia research. Team FARA finished 1st in the division with a time of 8d7h59m (15.03 mph)."

However I think they may have been wrong about our finish time, I think it was 8d8h14m but either way we came in first in our division!
Team FARA members are running, walking, biking and swimming for FA research around the world. While they are geographically dispersed, Team FARA is united with the same goal: to draw attention to FA through acts of physical endurance and to support the advancement of FA research towards treatments and a cure for FA.
