Pedal for a Purpose from D.C. to Seattle
Having just graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland on May 16, Cyrus Chimento, Graham Martin-Poteet and Keene Kelderman embark on May 20 for a cross-country cycling trip. They leave from Washington, D.C. with a goal to reach Seattle, Washington by July 15.
They are dedicating their ride, branded “Gear Up for a Greener Earth,” to promoting environmental protection and the sustainable development of social, economic and legal systems. Their trek is a fundraiser for Conservation International, a charity organization concerned with global environmental protection. The trio will travel some 3,360 miles, with 283 hours in the saddle. They will ascend and descend more than 53,000 feet during the 63-day journey.
Chimento and Martin-Poteet are residents of Maryland. Kelderman is a resident of Connecticut.
