    I kept hunting for a DVD, but never could turn one up and the original LINK to the Vimeo pay-per-view had expired. :embarrassed9: I kept on hunting though and finally did turn up a current link for it (above), so I'll probably d/l and convert it into a DVD for my own collection.

    It took Maria about 1000 miles to come from dead last, thirty hours behind the leader, to claim the lead. But she still had 1,342 miles to pedal…​

    A most inspirational story indeed, for those interested in reading an overview of what all she went through you can read it here:

    "The Canyon represents the valley of death of under funded research," Maria Parker said. "There's just the beauty of the metaphor - we're standing on the North Rim, we're running down into the valley and then we're climbing up the other side."

    Parker and Telford are determined to do their best to bridge the gap of funding in cancer research. During their race any money raised will go to Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure (ABC2), a non-profit organization that drives cutting-edge research and treatments for brain tumors.

    In addition to running rim to rim, Teleford and Parker will have their journey documented in a short documentary, "Crossing the Canyon,"

    The documentary will tell their stories and extend their impact beyond the Canyon to provide inspiration and hope for those battling brain cancer.
