Sea To Sea Cyclist Reaches First Goal
As we previously reported, Jim Beezhold, a 72-year- old retired teacher, is preparing to bicycle 3,750 miles across North America next summer hoping to raise more than $1.5 million to help the world’s poor! Jim is one of 211 riders, ranging in age from 18 to 76, currently registered to participate in what is likely to be the largest group of cyclists to ever cross North America! The Sea to Sea 2008 Bike Tour begins June 28 in Seattle, Wash., and ends nine weeks later in Jersey City, NJ on August 30. For his part, Jim hopes to raise at least $10,000.
Jim has reported that he has acheived his goal of raising $10,000! That won’t stop Jim from raising more and going beyond his goal though! A fundraiser is being planned by his home church on May 31st. See our events calendar for details and watch this site for more news as Jim begins his coast to coast cycle ride raising awareness about the Millennium Development Goals and raising money for the world’s poorest.
