Bennett White

Bennett White was a former cyclist and close friend of Metier Partners, Todd Harrington and David “The Rocket” Richter. Bennett helped with some of the construction of Metier, where the film kickoff party took place.

Todd and “Rocket” shared with Greg that Bennett was at Stage-4 cancer and didn’t have much time left on his life’s journey. Greg met Bennett at a bike race in June of 2017. Greg introduced himself and spoke with Bennett about his cancer. Greg was moved at Bennett’s realization that he didn’t have a lot of time left. What was more moving was Bennetts attitude and spirit knowing that he had months to live.

Greg sat down with Bennett to hear his story of courage, philosophy and love in the face of impending death. Greg was profoundly impacted from this experience and wanted to bring Bennetts story to the film.
