Two assistant coaches from the Tennessee Lady Volunteers and 2007 NCAA Women's Basketball Champions. There initiative is the raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund by riding a motorcycle over 3,000 miles. Holly Warlick and Nikki Caldwell the assistant coaches of the Lady Vol's will ride on a Harley Davison with a duration of 11 days with special events along the way.

They both have their special reasons for volunteering for this special event,

"A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 at the age of 36. She was also the mother of a 3 year old at the time. It's one thing to battle against opponents on the court, or to battle against your teammates in practice, but to battle cancer, breast cancer, is it's own Final Four Championship Game. It's you, versus cancer. Her attitude, her faith, her will to conquer breast cancer, makes her my champion. She has shared with me that we should pay attention to our bodies, be aware of any changes, visit your physician, and revisit them if you still don't feel comfortable with the diagnosis. She was told she was too young to have breast cancer, but she knew something was wrong, so she insisted on a mammogram. She was in Stage II A (1 lymph node positive). She then chose the most aggressive treatment and she is a breast cancer survivor."

 as said by Nikki Caldwell.
