We're on a Quest For Payne

Welcome to the Quest For Payne team website. The team was started by Jeff and Bryan Payne after their mother, Leslie Payne, passed away from cancer in November 2008. The mission of the team is to raise money and awareness to fight cancer.

The first appearance of Quest For Payne was in October 2009 at the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Austin, TX. Through lots of hard work, thousands of miles of pedaling, and the help of so many great donations from people like yourself ... we were able to raise $17,200 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

And now we're preparing for the 2010 season. Our goals have increased. Our team is growing. And we're planning to make a bigger dent in cancer than ever before.

Please support us as we make a difference in the cancer fight through our participation in the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Thank you!

Together, we CAN make a difference. We can live strong.
