Denver's Deputy Mayor Bill Vidal to Participate in 8,100 Mile Bicycle Ride for Epilepsy

Denver's Deputy Mayor Bill Vidal will attend, speak and ride with Glenn one mile representing the City of Denver and its’ citizens. Glenn heard today just how excited the Deputy Mayor is about joining him for the symbolic first mile of his 8,100 bicycle ride to promote epilepsy awareness.

Time and Place
Date: Monday, April 28, 2008
Time: 8:00 am - 8:30 am
Location: Hilton Garden Inn
Address: 1400 Welton Street, Denver, Colorado, USA 80202

On April 28th, 2008 Glenn Fenster of Aventura, Florida will embark on an 8,100 mile bicycle journey from Denver, Colorado to Miami, Florida (the Long Way).

His inspiration and reason for this ambitious undertaking is his 14 year-old son, Nyle, who has suffered from acute epilepsy since he was just two years old. Glenn is riding to show his son that no matter what the disability, everyone has the capacity to reach for their dreams. He does not ride just for his son, but for other kids and adults living with epilepsy.

In 2006 Glenn biked 4036 miles from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida , to promote epilepsy awareness, supporting the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. Last year’s ride from Alaska supported Epilepsy services and programs in America and Canada, added another 2500 miles to his journey, along with the challenges of the ‘northern climate’, which can be unpredictable and definitely much colder then what he experienced previously. According to Mr. Fenster, “This upcoming 8100 mile trip pales in comparison to the courage my son and others exhibit each day”.
