While cyclists from the Million Dollar Challenge were at their Santa Barbara stop, Team USA Paralympic Sailing Team member Ryan Porteous received a surprise grant from the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
The foundation is currently hosting its 17th Annual Million Dollar Challenge. This challenge is a 7-day, 620-mile bike ride along the California coastline from San Fransisco to San Diego.
The event started on October 14 and aims to raise more than $2 million to help athletes with physical challenges worldwide gain access to sports.
Porteous received $2,000.
Currently, the cyclists are riding 86 miles from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica.
