The Secret Pit Crew is an international team of individuals and companies that want to help Donna-Rae realize her dream.  They are the support crew, some behind the scenes, who help anyway they can.  Many would love to join the ride but can't due to health or personal obligations.  Others are vicariously adventuring around the world with her.  Some have volunteered spare parts as they were needed, others suggested the best riding gear and equipment to take. They are all supporters of the Ultimate Globe Ride, and like the pit crew at a race, keep her on the track around the world. They could be called the Good Guys and Girls, sponsors or fans, but most of all they are friends.
