Aiming to benefit people with disabilities, the Journey of Hope is the biggest awareness venture and a fraternal fundraising program. Covering 32 states, over 80 riders will trek around 12,000 miles, with scheduled stops on each day to interact with disabled people and their supporting groups. To know more about the course details and itinerary, please check the Push America website.

The biggest airline services, shippers and freight forwarders world over make use of the wireless location tracking system provided by OnAsset Intelligence. High-value assets are kept in sight at all times. The tracking technology SENTRY 400 GPS from OnAsset is being offered to the riders of the Journey of Hope for the second year running. The SENTRY device sends a tracking update to the Vision software platform from OnAsset once every 30 minutes; and with the Push America integration to Google (News - Alert) Maps, it enables donors, family members, charitable organizations and coordinators of the race to keep a check on the location of the riders all through.

In a release, the Director of Push America, Tanner Bacon said that “OnAsset’s technology enhances the fun, and the sense of community by enabling anyone to follow the progress of our athletes as they make their way across the country. This is our second year working with OnAsset and we’re grateful for their participation.”

President and CEO of OnAsset Intelligence, Adam Crossno said that “OnAsset has looked forward to working with Push America again since our first collaboration with the riders of Journey of Hope last year. It’s a joy to work with them and bring real-time visibility to family and friends on the location and progress of the riders and their teams.”
