This morning, as thunderstorms blew through the state with a wind gust of 101 mph recorded at Dwight D. Eisenhower airport, a group of cyclists were on a mission. They are riding across America to fight human trafficking. I had a chance to talk with Brad Ortenzi, Team Manager for Infinity Concepts, currently in 1st place in the Race Across America, for an update on their progress. If you're not sure what Race Across America is all about, read more: No Punchline, Just 3,000 Miles of 15-Minute Sprints to End Child Trafficking SANTA CLARITA, CA – A detective, a 6th grade teacher, and a bank president hopped on bikes and rode across America. The punchline? There is no punchline. Because this is no joke. Beginning on June 14, eight cyclists and their crew will set out on a non-stop, transcontinental relay race from Oceanside, California, to renowned Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the 2025 Race Across America (RAAM). It’s a grueling, muscle-numbing, sleep-depriving, and stunningly beautiful ride, covered in alternating 15-minute calf-searing sprints by each rider. The freedom of child trafficking victims is their fuel. Founded in 2002, ZOE International has a mission to reach every person with God’s love and rescue every child from human trafficking through prevention, rescue, and restoration programs in five countries—the United States, Thailand, Mexico, Japan, and Australia. Brad Ortenzi, a former undercover online child exploitation investigator with the Ephrata (Pennsylvania) Police Department, is ZOE team’s race director. He also serves as the Eastern USA Regional Director for ZOE. “We visited Thailand and expected to see shattered, broken kids, but instead, we saw children overflowing with joy.” Zoe International Website https://youtu.be/a8rgFMBGvQI?si=5lhUOdmAw4kqmkVZ
