The Subaru Elephant Rock is the largest cycling event in the Rocky Mountain region, and Team Transplant had the largest charity team for the fifthyear in-a-row!

Check out all that 2013 Team Transplant accomplished:

• 165 team members cycled courses ranging from 8 to 100 miles to raise money and awareness to support organ and tissue donation!
• 24 transplant recipients – including heart, lung, kidney and liver recipients – rode to prove the lifesaving power of organ donation!
• 12 living organ donors rode to prove that living donors can lead incredibly active lifestyles even after donating!
• Team Transplant raised over $90,000 to support the lifesaving initiatives of the American Transplant Foundation!

A tremendous THANK YOU to every single rider who helped make 2013 the most successful year in Team Transplant history!
