He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world.  
In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure.

One Mile at a Time - A Memoir of...

Edward M. Rahill

You don't outrun grief. You can't just escape from a dark night of the soul. You have to drive through it…one courageous mile at a time.
Ed Rahill's life has veered off course, and while he dreams of becoming the man his Grandmother taught him to be, he's become haunted by losing the love of his life, and is struggling to have faith in himself.
With his foot on the pedal of GT's since he was a young boy, he enters an outlaw road race across America in the tradition of a Cannonball Run.
Ed and his partner Tim didn't think they stood a chance to win — "We just didn't want to give up on ourselves." Facing the most aggressive, nationwide highway patrol effort in U.S. history, Rahill was presented with the choice we all face at some time in our lives: succumb to our fears of failure and inadequacy, or find the fortitude to go on and leave the world a better place because we are here.
This story is about more than the thrill of speeding through the New Mexico desert at 140mph+. It's about survival, redemption, and discovering who you are when everything else falls away. One Mile at a Time unfolds with heart-pounding adrenaline and deep emotional truth. From Boston to San Diego, Rahill's record-breaking journey becomes a meditation on life, purpose, and the pursuit of meaning in a fast-changing world.
If you loved Ford v Ferrari, this is your next must-read.
Perfect for racing fans, historical memoir readers, road trip lovers, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, purpose, and redemption.
For everyone who's ever dug their way out of a dark night of the soul, with their heart set on becoming a better version of themselves to leave the world a better place — this is your story.
