Ryan's Incredible Push Across America

Welcome to Red Sail Sports new Cayman dive blog. Each week we'll bring you the latest from beyond the reefs and wrecks of the Cayman Islands

This week we have been following the conclusion of Ryan Chalmer's epic Push Across America. For 71 days he pushed the equivalent of two marathon's everyday in his racing wheelchair. Ryan pushed from LA to New York through 16 states, 4 timezone and across some of the toughest terrain. His amazing feat of endurance was to raise awareness of the Stay-Focused organization for which he is a mentor. Stay-Focused helps teens and young adults with disabilities through scuba diving certification programs here in Grand Cayman. Red Sail Sports has been a supporter of the organisation for years and has welcomed many awesome teens on board our dive boat - including Ryan (find out more by watching this video).


On Saturday June 15, Ryan reached the conclusion of his Push Across America (right on schedule) rolling into Central Park around 9:30am. WELL DONE RYAN!


3300 miles in 71 days - amazing!
