In August 2018, Mike Charbonnet will be riding from San Francisco to San Diego, 650+ miles down the Pacific Coast, to raise support for a non-profit near to Mike's heart, VIP NeuroRehabiliation Center (VIP). This center has greatly impacted his family since his son became a patient after a parachuting accident in 2011 which left him paralyzed.
