Transforming ourselves, encountering others and changing the culture.
The National Ride
Laying down
the miles.
Our 2022 National Ride is this July 10-16. We are recruiting young adult missionaries (18-39 years old) committed to training and undertaking the spiritual task of sharing the beauty of life to raise awareness and financial support for America’s pregnancy resource centers. In July, our missionaries will ride to lay down 100+ miles each day for life.

Biking A-Cross America: The Routes
Each July, missionaries bike almost 2,700 miles in seven days, sacrificing time away from their jobs, young children, spouses, and/or parents. The National Ride includes four teams beginning in Green Bay, Columbus, Natchez, and Holly, all comprised of young adults who strengthened their resolve to defend life through athletic and mental challenges. Their cross-country trek ends in St. Louis with our annual Celebration of Life event. Following a geographical path of the corpus of Christ from His Holy Wounds to His Sacred Heart, each year, we will carry this message of hope “a+cross” America to thousands who see us on the highways.
COVID-19 Update: In 2020, we pivoted from a cross-country ride to one lasting the same number of days and mileage within the state of Wisconsin. You can still check out our virtual events from each night as well as daily ride footage on our YouTube page.
2021 National Ride is July 11-17
Follow our journey a-cross America!
Each day of the ride our missionaries share their mileage, hearts and prayers for the unborn and the PRCs that serve their parents.
