I got this information from my mom. I have nothing to do with this. I"m just
posting for her from her friend...

This guys from Missoula MT, ran across the United States (west to east) last
year to help promote Physical Activity. This year he plans to bike (east to
west) across America. He is trying to raise $4,000 to pay for gear, food,
lodging, etc. I thought our cycling community might be able to help. If you
can't contribute financially, he is looking for places to spend the night
along his route and maybe someone can provide lodging.

>Hello From P.A.C.E. Trek!

It has been 3 months since I completed my 3,260-mile run across America and
for the past 6 weeks I have been working on an endeavor that many of you may
believe will qualify me for a straight jacket. Between April and June of
this year I will be crossing the continent solo once again, retracing the
steps of P.A.C.E. Run 2006 with the wheels of P.A.C.E. Bike 2007. Rather
than use this e-mail message to dive into the various "hows" and "whys" of
this pending trek, I would ask for you to take a moment to visit
www.pacetrek.com. From there you'll be able to access the run across America
web site as well as my upcoming trek site.

This trek will require two months, coast to coast, and will be from April 10
to June 16. My complete route is available through the web site and is the
precise route I ran in 2006 - just going in the opposite direction. Okay...
so you're probably wanting me to get right to the point on "why" I'm going
to do this. Here it is:

If you drop any small thing into water, it will cause a ripple effect -thus
changing everything reflected on its surface. With the success of my 2006
solo run across America I acquired a unique message about health, fitness
and chasing after dreams that I want to drop into the minds and hearts of
children across America, like dropping a pebble into water. My hope is that
it will cause a change in their lives and a ripple effect toward greater
health, fitness, and a deeper desire to pursue their dreams. That's it! If
my purpose resonates with you I would ask for any assistanceor ideas that
you can offer with respect to lodging, funding, and/or locations for
presentations (schools, clubs, organizations, etc.).

Thank you for reading this, and I hope you visit www.pacetrek.com.

"Gotta Roll",
