About the LAST GASP

The LAST GASP is a classic Cape Cod experience.  It is a charity bike ride (September 15th) that consists of a 61 mile bike ride from Sandwich to Provincetown followed by a party boat back to Sandwich and a Lobster Bake to wrap it all up. Last year, 2012, the LAST GASP raised $492,606 for local charities, and all that money stays right here on Cape Cod. The LAST GASP is the brain child of Bill Murphy and the Cape Cod Charitable FunRaisers and has been raising money for Cape Codders for over 20 years. Other CCCF events include Roll the Rock, Spectacle of Trees and the Viva 5k. For more details see www.capecodcharitablefunraisers.com
