34 for 40 Trans-Americas Ride

The 34 for 40 program was a fundraising effort for the Pat Tillman Foundation. Led by David Gerulski, a technology sales and marketing executive from Atlanta, Georgia, the 34 for 40 ride raised over $100,000 while breaking the previous record for driving a motorcycle from the northernmost point in the Americas to the southernmost.〔"(Updated: New Alaska-Argentina Trans-Americas Record Set On BMW F650 )," ''RoadracingWorld.com'', 2006-11-30〕〔(Tillman Inspires World Record Attempt )," Steven Bohner, ''ASU Web Devil'', 2006-06-26〕〔(Tracy Moss, "For The Record: Westville Native Wants to Set Mark, Raise $1 Million for Old Friend's Foundation )," ''The News-Gazette'', July 17, 2006〕〔"(Westville Native Breaks Record on TransAmerica Ride )," Tracy Moss, ''The News-Gazette'', 2006-09-30〕
==Origins of the campaign==
Gerulski first met Pat Tillman in San Jose, California in 1987. Tillman was a close friend of Gerulski's nephew. After Tillman's death while serving with the US military in Afghanistan, Gerulski decided to create an event that would focus attention on Tillman's life and achievements in support of the Pat Tillman Foundation. Gerulski realized that the world record for driving a motorcycle from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska—the northernmost point in the Americas—to Ushuaia, Argentia—the southernmost point—was 35 days and had not been challenged for some time. He decided to try to break the record for his fundraising effort.〔〔(Angie Loy, "BMW Sets World Record in Trans-America Endurance Race," ''Motorcyclist,'' December 11, 2006 )〕 "34" refers to the number of days needed to break the record. "40" refers to Pat Tillman's jersey number with the Arizona Cardinals football team.
