Greg Krupa, a 21-year-old field-research coordinator for the
Range of Motion Project (ROMP), has committed to cycling across the
American landscape until he raises $10,000 in donations for the
project, which provides orthotic and prosthetic care and devices in
developing countries. Initially, the younger brother of ROMP
co-founder and CEO David Krupa, CP, planned to ride from Kansas
City to Chicago, 520 miles, but on the fourth day of his ride, he
committed to riding until he had completed his fundraising goal. As
of September 15, he has ridden more than 740 miles and raised
$2,882, braving massive rainstorms, speeding 18-wheelers, and days
that sometimes span more than 80 miles.
