Why would a band over 60-something sportsmen want to attempt such an ordeal?  Each motivation is different and that is what this documentary will explore. In the process we will ask and answer a number of probing questions of special interest to the over 70 million baby boomers. living in the U.S. What is Ability and Disability? How do we define today?s seniors? What special hardships must these riders endure to race not only the other riders but also The Sands of Time? The race will be held on November 17th, 2006, will be broadcast worldwide by both NBC and ESPN and is being sponsored at the broadcast level by TECATE, SCORE MEDIA and AURA360, so it is URGENT that we fund, at least this part of the project very soon if we are go expect cooperation from these mega-corps.
