When Kevin Striegle recovered a long-lost family heirloom amongst the rubble of Hurricane Sandy, he knew his story wouldn’t end when his mission trip did.    Kevin had never been an outspoken Christian.

Erin Hogan, a future World Racer on the January 2013 M Squad, just returned from an Adventures Disaster Relief trip to the areas in New York affected by Hurricane Sandy.
