Max Magnuson and Stanford buddy Colin Casey rode across America to raise money for Darfur. Magnuson and Casey pedaled across America to commemorate the Lost Boys’ journey while raising awareness of the continuing conflict and money for the victims. The 20-year-olds call their adventure “The Ride for Darfur,” the region of Sudan where the civil war is centered. They raised more than $26,000 for the cause. They completed the 50-day, 3,000+ mile cross-country bike trip at Ocean Beach on Sunday, September 12. Max said, “Our arrival at OB served as a culmination of nearly a year of hard work and planning, and nearly two months of steady biking,” wrote Max in an online interview a few days after the ride ended. “This bike trip was truly an adventure in every sense of the word and our crossing of the finish line provided an appropriate finish to such an incredible journey.”
