Last year Hal undertook a fundraising bike ride and (with two friends) rode 142 miles of the D&L trail from the Black Diamond trailhead to the Bristol trailhead in 3 days (it ended up taking Hal 4 days). Contributions to three non-profits totaled just over $9,000, which were then matched by his corporate sponsor for a grand total of over $18,000!
Hal’s theme for this year’s bike ride is the number 7. He started his goal in the 7th month (July) on the 23rd day. His goal is to ride 707 miles in 70 days, then an additional 70 miles in 700 minutes on the 70th day (September 30)!For that ride he will start at the Black Diamond Trailhead of the D&L trail and ride to
Sand Island in Bethlehem.As of September 25 he has pedaled 677 miles,
or 95% of his 707 mile goal.
In case you missed it, that’s a total of 777 miles in 70 days with the goal of raising $7,777 for Bright Hope Pregnancy Support Center.
Hal would love for you to help him reach this goal!
