Phil Nagle Reaches Eureka, Nevada. He is riding his bike through 48 states to raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Phil is in the huge state of Nevada. Yesterday he battled headwind gusts at 30 mph. Let me digress here. When you are on a bike trying to get somewhere and you have that kind of a headwind, it feels like someone put about 50 lbs on your bike. You turn the pedals and you just can’t go anywhere. Your legs are on fire, and you are going nowhere. But Phil just keeps pedaling. I can honestly say, I am absolutely amazed that his body is still going. But for Phil, it isn’t about what his body can do, it is what his mind is telling his body to do.

Here is a note from Andrew O’Dom, Team Manager:
“We are currently in Nevada and will be for the next 3 days. This is our 33 state and we are well over half way done with our trip. Phil is doing amazing as he has cycled for over 4,500 miles in 33 straight days. He has set a trip record with 185 miles in one day! He has also hit speeds as high as 53 mph! Simply amazing, but we need your help.

With the trip just over the half way point we are trying to make a final push towards raising the $48,000 for LLS as well as raise enough funds to complete our mission.

If you can find it in your hear and your wallet 🙂 please help us meet our goal with your donations. You could make the difference. Donate to LLS using the link on our facebook page. Or donate directly to us at www.go48in48.com. Donations made to us will be used for the trip as well as put towards our goal for LLS

Thank you all for you support without you we wouldn’t have made it this far.

Thanks,

Andrew”
