The purpose of this project was to provide wellness tools to improve the mind, body and spirit of wounded, ill and injured military service members and veterans by addressing a holistic approach to long-term health.

Team Zenoni (Ret. USMC Master Sergeant Dean Zenoni and Dr. Lorri Zenoni), rode the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR), self-supported from the Canadian Border (Roosville Station, Montana) to the Mexico Border (Antelope Wells, New Mexico) crossing 5 states and 2624 miles in 59 days on bicycles. The GDMBR is the world’s longest, mapped, off-pavement cycling route and is named as one of the top 100 best National Geographic American Adventures.

Team Zenoni rode the GDMBR to raise funds and awareness for the importance of nature and movement for our combat wounded, ill and injured. Every dollar that was raised by this effort went to support the Integrative Wellness Program and Team Semper Fi Sports Program at Semper Fi & America's Fund. (SFAF).
