Bike Ride to Benefit The APD
Garrett Porter, a 23 year old, is scheduled to begin an amazing bicycle trip from Shanghai, China to Cork, Ireland starting on July 1st, 2013.
He is mostly riding for his own enjoyment, but wants to represent the Alliance for the Physically Disabled (APD). He sees it as a worldwide mission to showcase the APD.
He will post pictures, show maps, and narrate his trip on crazyguyonabike.com — his blog. He will give others less fortunate the ability to see the world through his trip and eyes. When he posts, he will make mention of the Alliance for the Physically Disabled and how donations can be made. The donations will not go to the trip expenses, but to further the work of the APD.

Garrett’s trip will take approximately 5-6 months. Bike riding is this young man’s hobby. He takes PLEASURE in riding over hills, mountains, and in all kinds of weather. He has ridden with others before but also by himself. Two years ago, while in college, he rode from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic in 5 weeks. He expects that the trip overseas will take approximately 5-6 months. Make sure you keep up with his travels by reading his blog on his website by bookmarking, www.crazyguyonabike.
