Epilepsy “Spokes” Dad Does More Than Talk – He’s Pedalling 8100 Miles in Support of His Cause

On April 28th, 2008 Glenn Fenster will begin a demanding, 8100 bicycle journey from Denver, Colorado to Miami, Florida – although he’ll be taking the long way home – travelling via Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seattle, and into Canada via Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto before heading south to Miami. Glenn’s mission - to raise funds and awareness for epilepsy – a cause he has been passionate about since his own son Nyle, now 14 years old, was diagnosed with epilepsy as a toddler. We were thrilled to learn that Glenn will pass through Calgary again. If you didn’t get to meet this inspirational dad last year – please plan to join us when Glenn is in Calgary (estimated late May 2008).
