Early yesterday morning, Alyssa Secreto was struck by a vehicle roughly 60 miles from the finish of her 2,700-mile Tour Divide ride. She was in position for second place in the women’s category but was instead airlifted from New Mexico to El Paso, Texas, where she’s receiving emergency care.

The crash has left her with severe injuries, a fractured vertebra, internal bleeding, and a completely destroyed bike (Updated as of noon, July 2nd. Confirmation on the full extent of the injuries will come as soon as we have a report from the surgeon). She was airlifted from New Mexico to El Paso, Texas, where she is currently receiving emergency care.
While we are endlessly grateful that Alyssa is stable, her life has been completely upended in an instant. The road to recovery ahead of her is going to be long and incredibly challenging.
Beyond the physical pain, Alyssa is now facing astronomical medical bills. To make things heavier, she lost her bike, which wasn’t just gear to her. It was her trusted companion on some of the most gratitude-fueled moments of her life. She had just built her dream bike, only for it to get destroyed.
We want to wrap Alyssa in love and eliminate the crushing financial stress of this accident so she can focus entirely on what matters most: healing. With your support, we can help cover her medical expenses and eventually replace her bike, reminding her of the community that has her back and the joy that is waiting for her return.
If it’s available to you, please consider donating to Alyssa’s GoFundMe page. We wish her a quick and full recovery!
