The longest annual charity bicycle ride in the world, the Livestrong Texas 4000 team, will be rolling through South Lake Tahoe on June 19.

This is 19 days after departing from Austin, Texas. Anchorage is the final destination of the 70-day journey.

Sixty-nine undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Texas at Austin are pedaling in support of the fight against cancer. Along their journey, riders will volunteer at community events that contribute in the fight against cancer and visit with cancer survivors, patients, caregivers, and family members to make educational presentations about cancer prevention and early detection. They also use this time to offer hope, encouragement and share their personal stories to cancer fighters of all ages and to those who have been affected by the disease.

This is the 10th year of the ride.
