Rebecca Rusch is an American endurance professional athlete, seven-time World Champion, author, entrepreneur, Emmy Award winner,[1] and motivational speaker.

[5] In September 2014, Rusch married Greg Martin, an engineer firefighter for the Ketchum fire department and accomplished mountain biker and outdoorsman.

Its mission is to enrich communities by using the bicycle as a catalyst for healing, empowerment and evolution and to create opportunities for outdoor exploration, personal discovery and humanitarian service.

Priorities include removal of UXO, or unexploded ordnance, throughout Laos; protecting public lands for recreation and access; and partnering with other cycling-related nonprofits to fund impactful change.

Determined to go for broke, she shifted her focus to endurance mountain bike racing and rode straight into the record books at a moment when most athletes walk away.

Rusch to Glory is more than an epic story of adventure; it is a testament to the rewards of hard work, determination, and resilience on the long road to personal and professional triumph.

Rusch counted it as "the most important speech of our lives, sharing our parallel stories of finding Dad and keeping his memory and impact alive.

Outside TV has broadcast a three-part documentary miniseries following Rusch and fellow explorer Steve "Doom" Fassbinder over 6 days of mountain biking, rock climbing, canyoneering and packrafting in Utah's Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments with the intent to promote preservation of public lands.

In 2015, Rusch with Huyen Nguyen became the first persons to pedal the entire length of the 1,800 km (1,200 mi) Ho Chi Minh trail through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Blood Road, according to director Nicholas Schrunk, "set out to document an epic cycling expedition as well as Rebecca's personal journey to visit the crash site [of her father], but we ended up uncovering something much deeper.
