<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px;"><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have never known Glenn when this ride was not a part of the conversation...either updates on the last leg or planning for the next one, so it’s hard for me to believe that the ride has come to an end. Last week in California was really one I will never forget. I was so honored to have been asked by Glenn to ride with he and Seth for the last leg. It only further illustrated how he has always welcomed me into the family with open arms, which means more to me than words can express. </span></b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px;">From the start of our trip last week when the family all met up in Laguna Beach, to the actual ride and the final celebration at the Santa Monica Pier, there were several things that continued to be reinforced for me.</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px;">1. Glenn is an extremely strong person - both mentally and physically!! I seriously do not understand how Glenn’s body and mind can handle riding day after day such great distances. It takes someone who is truly dedicated and determined (and really fit). </span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px;">2. Family is everything! Before meeting Neil and being introduced to the family, I can honestly say, I have never known a family quite like them. They love one another more than words can express, support each other in all their endeavors and truly enjoy each other’s company...how many family’s can say that??? Last week this was proven once again. I know that having his family be a part of the final leg of the journey made the end even sweeter for Glenn and the pride that his wife, children, and grandchildren have for his huge accomplishment was something pictures and words do no justice.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13px;">3. Helping others is a passion. Whether it’s his work as a physician or this ride to help raise money for various charities, especially I Care I Cure, Glenn is dedicated to making a difference in others’ lives. When we were waiting to get our bikes for the final leg, I listened as Benji, Evan, Miles and Fletcher told a complete stranger (who let them use his board to slide down a sand hill) all about the ride and why he was doing it. It illustrated that his passion was not only something his grandchildren were proud of, but also something I know they will pass along. </span></span></b></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>When the idea of finishing these last 60+ miles with my dad on his ride around the country came up, I knew I had to find a way to make it happen. Today, other than wishing I had trained a little more and had a more comfortable bike seat, I couldn’t be happier to be here riding (way) behind my dad on this journey. Being a part of someone accomplishing a goal like this is inspiring and infectious. I can now relate to those people who joined behind Forrest Gump on his cross country run. </b></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>There is not a more perfect activity for my dad than long distance cycling and this goal of riding around the country. As I sat on the bike for 6 hours I had a lot of time to think about some of the characteristics that explain why and thought I would share a few of them with everyone:</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<ol style="background-color: white;">
<li style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Determination - bike riding is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this trait for my dad. Whether it is his veracious reading, traveling to every state, or visiting every major league ballpark, when others would quit he continues on and accomplishes his goal. </b></span></li>
<li style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Focus - although bike riding seems like a physical activity , I realized yesterday how taxing it is mentally. A moment of lost concentration and a pot hole or parked car can become a dangerous hazard (both almost got the best of me yesterday). My dad is so well equipped for this kind of physical and mental toughness </b></span></li>
<li style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Relational - he has logged the majority of his miles by himself, but the most memorable miles for him have come with company. Whether it was his Big Ride companions, his long rides with Uncle Jim, or short rides with anyone else who would join him along the way, riding with others makes the tough roads a little easier. Also, when you are on a bike for 6 hours there is no chitchat, just real one on one conversations. These are the kind my dad excels at</b></span></li>
<li style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Cause-focused - every mile my dad has pedaled has been to raise money for a medical cause. As a doctor he has felt passion to not just treat his patients but also work towards a future without these terrible diseases he helps treat. 11 years ago that focus became even more personal for my dad and our whole family when my cousin Ian died of cancer. The $70k plus my dad has raised is making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.</b></span></li>

<div style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I couldn’t be more proud of what my dad has accomplished and why he has done it. I know this is a bittersweet ending for him because he has worked towards it for so long. I also know my dad and the next goal that no one else thought was possible is right around the corner. </b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was not in a rush for today end. This adventure has taken 135 days to complete, including some rest days, and covered over 10,000 miles. If I needed to be reminded this trip, illustrated how much better it is to have company to do all those miles rather than having to do it that on my own. I would like to thank BJ Shannon, Feivel Cohen, Adam and David from Phoenix, Billy and Lynn Wachtenheim, Michael Pollack,Craig Bulkley, the Beatys - Laurie, Sean and my amigo Jim, Laurie Myer, Warren Rich and Melissa and Greg Eckel. Today I was fortunate to have Jerry, Seth and our friend Pon join me to Marina del <a href="http://rey.th/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">Rey. Th</a>ese are the individuals who took their precious time to join me since 2009. I could not have done this without the love and support of our children and grandchildren- Jill, Shahak, Neil, Jerry, Sara and Seth, Benji, Evan, Miles, Fletcher and Oliver. Seth asked me today if I could come up with the top 10 list of the places I enjoyed the most during these rides. I cannot come up with that list but these stand out at the <a href="http://moment.ne/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">moment. Ne</a>edless to say the cross country ride in 2000 was most memorable. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Pacific Northwest was probably next. Crossing into Canada with the family was outstanding as I am sure tomorrow will be. But what has left an indelible impression was the excitement Evan showed as a 2 and a half year old when I met them on the Baltimore Annapolis path as I worked my way up the East Coast in 2011. He was so happy to ride with his Pa that day and I with him.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I must thank all of you for your interest in following along with us on the blog and we truly appreciate your generosity as we have raised about over $70,000 for I Care I Cure.

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lastly, there are no words to express my gratitude and thanks to Lynn. This has been a commitment on her part that,perhaps, I had no right to ask of her. She has spent countless hours preparing for each leg of our journey. She has added to her resume becoming a logistics expert, blogger, and especially showing talent in public relations. The entries in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Marietta Daily Journal, the Jewish Times articles in Atlanta and Phoenix, television coverage on the Fox station in Phoenix and numerous chats with Phlash Phelps on Sirius XM Satellite Radio Sixties on 6 have all put the word out about I Care I Cure. She has been and always will be the love of my life and I only hope that I have been an equal contributor for her, but she sets the bar at a lofty height indeed.</span></b></div>

<b><i>We want to challenge the public’s acceptance that treatment for childhood cancer requires painful and embarrassing side-effects and life-long health disabilities, isolation from friends and family, and short and long-term psychological devastation. By educating the public about scientific breakthroughs in genetic childhood cancer research (targeted therapies) that are within reach but seriously underfunded, we can quickly raise money to fund research grants and provide seed money to researchers for new studies. </i></b><b><i>By seeing how close we are to more humane treatment for childhood cancer, we know the public will demand better treatments, NOW.</i></b></div>

<i>CHILDREN NEED TARGETED THERAPIES NOW TO KILL THE CANCER AND NOT THE KID:</i></div>
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><i>Children with cancer need treatment breakthroughs NOW. They need new molecular-based targeted therapies that will “kill the cancer, not the kid.” Targeted drugs have proven to be an effective weapon in the war on cancer for adults, and one of the most promising treatments for the future. </i></i></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>HISTORICALLY, DRUGS USED TO TREAT CHILDREN WERE DEVELOPED FIRST FOR ADULTS:</i></div>
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><i>Nearly all drugs currently used to treat children with cancer were developed for adult cancers and then found effective in children through clinical trials of lower doses. However, most types of childhood cancer are distinct from adult cancers at the biological and cellular level which is the key factor in developing targeted therapies. In other words, resources must be dedicated to pediatric research as they never has before. And yet, neither the government nor pharmaceutical companies are devoting resources to pediatric cancer research.</i></i></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>TARGETED THERAPY RESEARCH FOR ADULTS WILL NOT APPLY TO CHILDREN, DUE TO CELLULAR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ADULT AND CHILDHOOD CANCERS:</i></div>
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><i>Research on targeted therapies for childhood cancer cannot wait for the approval of drugs developed for adult cancers because those drugs are not applicable on a molecular level. Due to this molecular distinction, pediatric cancer research must be pursued independently and with it’s own focused research effort. The benefits of this research WILL be applicable to adult cancers.</i></i></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am going to chalk yesterday up to some exhaustion. After breakfast I headed out. To Jim, I want you to know that there were no eye openers. The first two miles before there was a turn were straight downhill as was most of the early portion of the day. To Greg and Melissa, even the rough roads were smooth by comparison to some of the roads we were on together. Until I got to Route 52, the road that has the protected bike lane, there was not much scenery. I had wondered if, at the top of the climb and around the bend, I would see the ocean but that took another 10 miles or so. The roads were essentially flat past the Miramar base and remained that way for the rest of the day. I was somewhat surprised at how emotional I felt with my first gaze of the Pacific. Although I really enjoyed the Southern route across the country, I found it the most difficult. Maybe it was getting me back for telling people that the sole reason to do it was to complete the circuit around the USA. But I took tremendous pride in completing this today. 3 legs are completed and I just have about 100 miles to go to reach the end. I am certain that having a few days off will make it easier. Plus, I look forward to the arrival of the kids and grandsons to share in it all. Also there is the added bonus of Jerry and Seth joining me on the penultimate day.</span></b></div>

<b>Today, approximately 1.3 million acre-feet of water flows into the Salton Sea from agricultural lands. This inflow is about the same as the amount of annual evaporation at the Salton Sea, thus maintaining the necessary volume of water to preserve the fishery, wildlife, and recreational resources. The Salton Sea is a “terminal lake,” meaning that it has no outlets. Water flows into it from the Whitewater, Alamo, and New rivers, but the only way water leaves the sea is by evaporation.</b></div>

Between July and September is the time for alfalfa, banana squash, casaba, flax, okra, onions, sugar beets, sesbania, sorghums, tomatoes, watermelon, and wheat; broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots, casaba, cucumbers, dates, honeydew, lettuce, okra, onions, rapine, romaine, summer squash, and sorghums are crops for October through December</b></div>

<b>Imperial County’s Importance
· In 2006, Imperial County farmers produced 1,870,000 tons of hay, including alfalfa, Bermuda grass, Sudan
grass and klein grass hays, making the region a vital producer of food for the state’s vast dairy industry. Dairy is
the number one agricultural commodity in California, with 20% of the nation’s dairy production.
· Imperial Valley is one of California’s top five producers of spinach, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and onions.
· Imperial County is home to California’s only cheese processing plant producing Swiss and Muenster cheeses.
· There are more beekeepers per capita in the Imperial County than anywhere else in the nation. One of our local
beekeepers, Bryan Ashurst, was recently named California’s Young Beekeeper of the Year by the California
State Beekeeper’s Association.
· Imperial County is California’s number two producer of aquaculture, and is home to the largest catfish farm
west of the Mississippi.
· Imperial County Farm Bureau is celebrating 90 years as an integral part of Imperial Valley’s rich
agricultural heritage.
· Imperial County is the nation’s top sheep and lamb producing county. Approximately 200,000 sheep pass
through the county each year</b>.</div>

<b style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today was a challenging day, not because of weather or wind but because of exhaustion. After riding 36 miles, 16 of them on a dangerous rough road with deep crevices, Glenn was “toast” so we thought that it was best for Glenn and Greg to join Melissa and I in the van for the steep 2000 foot climb to the Desert View Tower. Three long days on the road have taken their toll on Glenn….he’s not sick or injured….just exhausted. He did persevere for 16 more miles after our stop at the Lookout but it was decided that he would retire for the day and that Greg would take the road for the team on his own. The SAG vehicle stayed nearby as he finished the final 34 miles. Greg’s total number of miles today was 88! Greg and Melissa are now official members of I Care I Cure I Cycle, an elite group of people who have pedaled for the cause! We are so proud of them.</span></b></div>

<b><i>I heard you on Phlash’s show this morning on my way into work; I live in Alpine and was excited to hear you mention Glenn coming through our little mountain town.

<b><i>We have many cyclists (both road bikes and mountain bikes) in town during the weekends. They like to hang out at Starbucks near the Albertson’s. You can also see them at the delightful Alpine Beer Company which now boasts two locations both in Alpine—the original “tasting room” on Alpine Blvd. which was previously watering stop for the gold miners heading up to Julian. The Alpine Beer Company also now has a new full-service restaurant/pub and beer gardens located next to the Ace Hardware on Tavern Road. Alpine does not lack for Mexican food either and my favorite of the six restaurants/taco shops is Manana’s (best rolled tacos with guacamole). What is also nice about the Alpine Beer Company tasting room is that there is a taco shop just next door (Tapatio’s) where one can grab a burrito and then go to the tasting room and enjoy it with a frosty beverage.</i></b></div>

<b><i>We also have a great Italian Bistro we call “The Med” (short for Mediterreaneo) and a super-duper steakhouse called “The Grove” up at Viejas Casino and Hotel. Next to the Casino is an outlet mall with major retailers (Gap, Eddie Bauer, Coach, Guess, Nike, etc.) and a bowling alley. Also, Rubio’s, home of the famous San Diego fish taco.</i></b></div>

Not only did I have the company of Melissa, our niece (who managed to log the most miles in a day today) but as you can tell from the scenery it was quite varied. We had a view of Palo Verde Peak (above) for the first 35 miles. We had rolling hills that Melissa learned to manage like a seasoned rider in no time. We had a fantastic downhill that lead us to the Imperial Dunes which are extraordinary. The weather was superb we even had tail winds for some of the<u> </u>day. The</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left;"> only issue was that when we entered Imperial County the shoulders became bumpy. We finished the day by going through farm country. I had told many people that I was not expecting to be impressed by the vistas that I would take in across the South, but how wrong I was. It</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left;"> has been phenomenal to have company to share it with too. As</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left;"> we were finishing today, I could not help to think about that 3000 foot climb tomorrow at the end of the day.

following are notes from my college friend, Melinda Brown, who has been a
constant supporter of I Care I Cure and a wonderful cheerleader for our
rides. She wrote me a few emails that I
felt I needed to share with you. This
ride has been our way to battle the devastating toll that childhood cancer has
taken on our family, but we know that so many of you have also been touch by a
child who has suffered through this insidious disease. Please feel free to share your stories with
us and we will dedicate a day of the ride to your loved one. </span></b><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><b>When I got in my car on 12/19, Plash Phelps was talking about a bike rider who was raising money. He mentioned a bike ride that started in New England and before it was complete the rider will have gone around the entire perimeter of the United States. At first I wondered if someone else was doing this besides Glenn and then he said, “Glenn and his family are at the airport in Atlanta ready to board the plane to Phoenix”. He further explained that in California Glenn would be met by his family and they would ride to the Santa Monica Pier together as he completes his journey. </b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><b>I shouted to him “that’s Glenn” but obviously he didn't hear me. I didn’t care, I still yelled it out. I can’t explain how excited I was for Glenn, Lynn and their family to have this kind of publicity as they work so hard to raise funds for I Care I Cure, an organization formed in memory of their nephew. Having known Glenn since we were little I couldn't help but feel so proud of him and his family as they work so diligently to help eradicate childhood cancer. </b></span><br />

Bicycling all the way around the United States, a journey of about 10,000 miles, is like eating an elephant. You do it one bite at a time.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Glenn Hirsch, 67, a family physician, who lives in Vinings with his wife, Lynn, is about to chomp on that last mouthful.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
On Tuesday, he and Lynn will fly to Phoenix. From there, he will bike (and she will drive) to the Santa Monica pier in Los Angeles, completing the last link of a journey he started 17 years ago. In honor of his accomplishment, their children and grandchildren will all fly to Los Angeles, too, rent bicycles, and, on Dec. 29, accompany Glenn for the last 2.8 miles of the trip.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
It is the culmination of a long effort, one that’s raised $75,000 for a worthy cause.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
That journey began one day when Glenn looked in the mirror and saw a man who was getting old.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
He’d always loved riding his bicycle, and had a secret desire to bicycle across the U.S. In 2000, he celebrated a significant birthday and he realized he’d better get cracking. “As I was turning 50,” he said, “I thought, ‘You’re getting a little bit long in the tooth. You’d better put up or shut up.’”</div>

<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
That year, he started practicing by participating in a Roswell ride to combat multiple sclerosis. The weather wasn’t cooperative. “As I’m riding in the rain,” he said, “I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why would anyone think this was a fun thing to do?’”</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
He soldiered on. Later that year, he joined a Seattle-to-Washington, D.C., ride to benefit the American Lung Association, a journey that required two months off work. In 2004, he pedaled the California Coast Classic, an organized ride from San Francisco to Santa Monica.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Then in 2006, Glenn’s fundraising turned personal. Glenn and Lynn’s 11-year-old nephew, Ian Besner, was diagnosed with leukemia, and died with brutal swiftness. Devastated by the loss, Lynn’s sister, Beth Besner, created a nonprofit, called <a href="http://www.icareicure.org/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">I Care I Cure,</a> to raise funds and promote more research into childhood cancers, which receive only a small fraction of cancer research dollars.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Glenn decided to put his bicycle riding to work for I Care I Cure. He’d already traveled much of the West Coast and all the way across the north. Why not complete the transit? While bicycling all the way around the contiguous United States, he would also become a rolling billboard for I Care I Cure. He couldn’t do it all at once, so he broke it up, biking two or three weeks of the journey each year.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Lynn created car magnets, T-shirts and a blog, <a href="https://icareicureicycle.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">I Care I Cure I Cycle</a>, to track her husband’s journeys. She also became the logistics expert, planning hotels, airplane flights, meals and all the other details for each trip, all of which the Hirsches pay for themselves.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Finally, she volunteered to be the pilot of the sag wagon, trailing (or preceding) Glenn each day in her rental car, meeting up with him at various points along the way, bringing him to and from the trail to hotels, and blogging each night to keep their followers up to date.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
“I don’t particularly like being in the car by myself in desolate places,” said Lynn, during a chat at their fifth-floor condo, high up on the Vinings ridge. But she found companionship from their online followers, and from a SiriusXM radio disc jockey named Phlash Phelps, who tracked their progress and took calls from supporters.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Lynn and Glenn have known each other since she was 2 and he was 4, growing up in Lakewood, N.J. They began dating at 15 and 17, and they seem to have a symbiotic relationship.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Glenn’s trips have brought ups and downs. Some of them are of the literal variety: He will pedal up a 3,000-foot mountain during this leg.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Last year’s jaunt from Phoenix to New Orleans brought seven flat tires, mostly in Texas, and a visit from the border patrol. Border officials in Texas saw Lynn parked by the side of the highway in her brand-new Buick Enclave, waiting in an area where the Mexican border is nothing but an open field.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
They asked her: “Ma’am, what are you doing? My superior and I are watching your very suspicious behavior.” It seems that she’d picked a spot well-known to smugglers driving vans.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Lynn explained the bicycle trip, and when her husband bicycled up in his logo-typed spandex, the border guards were mollified. On the other hand, they wouldn’t let her photograph them for the blog.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Glenn Hirsch is a slight man with thinning hair, and though he does have the shockingly ripped calf muscles of the long-distance bicyclist, he seems an unlikely doer of superhuman feats. His secret, he says, is to break down big tasks into little ones.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Family and friends have learned this secret, which brother-in-law Jim Beaty describes as “the Zen of Glenn.” Beaty bicycled alongside Glenn on several days of the Southern leg from New Orleans to St. Augustine, Fla., and from Seattle to San Francisco in 2014, heard, to his chagrin, Glenn’s concept of the reverse Zeno’s paradox: “Come on, Jim, if you can do 30 miles, you can do 60.”</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Beth Besner said Glenn has not only raised money for I Care I Cure, but has brought awareness of the issue to a broader audience.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
“I’m in awe of his determination and his commitment to what we are doing,” said the Davie, Fla., resident. “He’s incredible, but he’s always been. I’ve known him since I was 5, ‘cause he’s been dating Lynn since she was 15. He’s always been the kind of person that sets a goal and achieves it.”</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
Lynn said their followers are excited about the culmination. “We have hundreds of people following us now,” she said. “Twice we raised $10,000 at the completion of a ride, but now I think we’ve already raised $13,000 and we haven’t left Atlanta yet. People are realizing it’s the last ride and realizing what an accomplishment it is and we’ve got a lot of support.</div>
<div style="color: #26282a; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: left;">
<div style="font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
“What we’re doing,” said Lynn, “we hope, is to help a lot of other kids not go through what Ian had to go through.”</div>

In just over a month, my dad will be set to accomplish the totally awe-inspiring feat of riding his bicycle around the perimeter of this gigantic country of ours. He has climbed mountains, biked through valleys, forded some streams, crossed over bridges, skirted some cities and braved his way through others, and witnessed some amazing scenery from the seat of his bike.<br />

Despite some nasty spills, many flat tires, faulty equipment, some bad weather, and fierce headwinds, he has always picked himself up to keep on pedaling day after day and mile after mile. I know this is true because I waited (mostly) patiently for the "I'm OK" or "I'm done for the day" text or phone call after most every day on the road. As he prepares to wrap up this final leg of the ride I look forward to joining the rest of my family to ride with him when he crosses his finish line on the Santa Monica Pier.<br />

PSA: All riders should wear helmets!</div>
<br />
Growing up in central Pennsylvania, one of my favorite memories was bike riding together to our local library to pick out some new books. While I still share my dad's love of reading, I'm afraid I can't keep up with his drive to ride. For those who don't know, my dad has kept daily, weekly, monthly, yearly mileage goals for himself and rides his bike to work whenever he can.<br />
<br />
He is one determined fellow and has been lucky to have my mom's support throughout this amazing journey. She's been there to pack him up, pick him up, boost his spirits, bring him snacks, and keep him company along the way. And thanks to her for blogging so that the rest of us could follow along on their adventure!<br />

Since then, he has ridden to raise funds for <a href="http://www.icareicure.org/">I Care I Cure</a>, a cause that is so important to our family and to anyone who has watched a child battling cancer and suffering immensely due to the harsh treatments. The research that the organization is funding is critical and I am proud of my parents for raising awareness. <i>On this Giving Tuesday, I hope you'll <a href="http://www.icareicure.org/icycle2017/">donate to the cause</a> in honor of my dad's amazing accomplishment and every mile that he has pedaled in memory of my cousin Ian.</i><br />

My kids never got the chance to meet Ian, but they have heard lots of stories about him and what a funny, caring, bright, sporty, curious, and amazing kid he was. He loved being with family and he always made me laugh!<br />
<br />
We rode with my dad when he passed through Maryland on his trip up the East Coast Greenway and again when he crossed the Canadian border after the biked through Maine.<br />

When he turned 50, Hirsch took leave from his family medical practice for a cycling tour from Seattle to Washington, D.C., to benefit the American Lung Association. He has continued to support organizations such as the Arthritis Foundation.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;">Hirsch’s intention was to ask people to donate to the charities of their choice during his cycling trips, but after Ian’s death, he decided to raise money for cancer research and morphed his sister-in-law’s foundation from I Care I Cure into </span><a href="http://icareicureicycle.blogspot.com/" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: blue;">I Care I Cure I Cycle</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">“It’s something I really didn’t think a lot of people were doing and thought I could help,” Hirsch said.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Two months after completing a cross-country cycling tour, however, Hirsch had a heart attack in 2000. His wife, Lynn, didn’t think he would ride again.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Hirsch had open heart surgery six months after the heart attack.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">During his recovery, doctors asked Hirsch to maintain a minimum lifting weight that was less than 20 pounds, close to the weight of his bike, and he implemented lifestyle changes, such as less work.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“I knew before I had the heart attack that I needed to slow down and change my work pace, which has made things a lot less stressful,” Hirsch said. “I have been able to do everything that I have wanted since and have always found cycling as a relaxing activity.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Hirsch continues to divide his time between cycling and giving to charity. “I do some of my best thinking while riding my bike and was going to give back to a foundation anyway. So getting the chance to ride and having someone benefit from it helps.”</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Whenever the cycling gets tough, Hirsch thinks about his nephew. “He had a much rougher go at it than I did … which helps me get through the rides when I put it in that perspective.”</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hirsch will participate in one last ride for I Care I Cure I Cycle in December. A ride from Phoenix to Santa Monica, Calif., will complete his journey around the country’s perimeter, covering more than 10,000 miles in 17 years.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">“Both Glenn and I had a helpless feeling after Ian passed away, and there wasn’t anything we could say or do to help console my sister, but we thought that by helping the foundation, we were doing our part to help them accomplish their goal and get through the ordeal,” Lynn said. “It’s been a long journey. … I don’t think Glenn ever imagined he would ride around the perimeter of the country, but he is the kind of person that, once he sets a goal for himself, he does not back down.”</span></div>

<i>Glenn Hirsch is on a 10,000 mile bicycle ride around the US, ending at the Santa Monica Pier. He rides to honor the memory of his nephew, Ian Besner, who died of Leukemia in 2006, and to raise money to fight cancer. His wife, Lynn Hirsch, sent us the following email:</i></div>

In 2006, we had a loss in the family. Our nephew, Ian who was 11, died of Leukemia. In an effort to cope with this tragedy, my sister and brother-in-law founded I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation (icareicure.org) in Ian's memory to fund</div>

<b>Since 2009, Glenn has cycled the East Coast Greenway from Key West to Maine at the Canadian Border, we traveled from Seattle to San Francisco with Ian's Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jim, Glenn pedaled the route from New Orleans to St. Augustine, FL and last fall we traveled from Phoenix to New Orleans, all for I Care I Cure.

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1506267338400_86339">Though he is a lifelong cyclist, Hirsch, 67, began long-distance cycling for charity in 2000, when he completed a nearly 3,000 mile ride from Seattle to Washington, D.C. for the American Lung Association. Over the years, he continued riding during his off-times from work, including a 2004 ride from San Francisco to the Santa Monica Pier for the Arthritis Foundation.</span></div>

<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
He continued to add miles in his quest to travel the perimeter of the U.S with rides along the entire East Coast Greenway, which stretches from Florida to Maine, and last year’s ride, which took Hirsch from Arizona to New Orleans. When he cycles from Phoenix to Santa Monica in December, he will complete the perimeter loop of the continental U.S.</div>

<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
Since 2009, Hirsch’s cycling efforts have been focused on raising funds for the I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation,(icareicure.org) an organization that seeks to improve cancer treatments for children. It’s an organization close to the Hirsch family’s heart. In early 2006, the Hirschs’ 11-year-old nephew, Ian, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ian endured traditional cancer treatments that shattered his immune system and isolated him from his friends and schoolmates. Though I Care I Cure notes he was cancer-free after just 15 days of treatment, his immune system was unable to combat a case of meningitis. He died May 31, 2006, a mere four months after his cancer diagnosis.</div>

Glenn Hirsch, a Vinings family physician, has been long-distance cycling for charity since 2000.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
Lynn Hirsch said that I Care I Cure was started by her sister and brother-in-law to ensure other children did not go through treatments that their son Ian endured. Most notably, I Care I Cure supports research of targeted therapies that allow children to be treated for cancer without the side effects typically associated with traditional cancer treatments.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“Right now, it would be nice to (have) a cure for childhood cancer, but before that happens, it would be nice to know that the kids who are suffering with cancer have a more tolerable way to fight the disease,” said Lynn Hirsch, who drives a support vehicle while Glenn cycles. “Besides raising the funds, we try to raise awareness (about childhood cancer treatment) with the rides.”</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
The couple blog about their mission — which they call I Care I Cure I Cycle (icareicureicycle.blogspot.com) — and donate all funds raised on Glenn’s rides to the I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation.</div>

<b>A CHALLENGING BUT REWARDING RIDE</b></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
Though the rides can be challenging — some days, Glenn Hirsch will log eight hours on a bicycle — he feels it’s a small sacrifice given what his nephew endured as a cancer patient.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“When things really get tough, I have a tendency to think back to Ian, and figure what I’m doing didn’t compare to what he had to go through. He (is) an inspiration,” he said. “I like to cycle. I figure this is one way to make something else good to come out of it, by being able to raise funds for the foundation.”</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
This December, the couple will travel to Phoenix, Arizona, where Glenn Hirsch will begin a 500-mile ride into southern California. He hopes to arrive at the Santa Monica Pier, and be joined by family members celebrating Ian’s life and the end of his journey. As Glenn Hirsch notes, the rides have been emotional, and raising money for better treatments has served as a method of healing for the family.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“Government (funded cancer research) only goes so far sometimes, unfortunately,” Glenn Hirsch said. “(We’re) making lemonade out of lemons — making something good come out of this.”</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
As he prepares for December, Hirsch’s training for long distance rides include trips along the Silver Comet Trail and to his office in east Cobb, where he practices medicine. Hirsch’s long distance cycling is also a testament to the power of going forward. Though he has always led a healthy lifestyle, he has had health concerns. After his cross-country ride in 2000, he suffered a heart attack upon his return to Georgia. But following his recovery from bypass surgery, Hirsch, who now works three days a week as a physician at WellStar Medical Group’s East Cobb Medical Center, went back to his love of the open road aboard a bicycle.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“My goal every year is to see if I can get more miles on my bike than my car,” he quipped.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
When asked about his love of cycling, Hirsch noted the sport’s relaxing qualities and meditative nature.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“One of the things about it is, when the world goes by as fast as you can peddle, things slow down immensely,” he said. “Some of my best thinking is on a bicycle.”</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
While Glenn will continue to ride, both he and Lynn said the December 2017 ride is the completion of I Care I Cure I Cycle. Though he may still do other long distance rides in the future, it’s time, Glenn said, to focus on other goals. With that in mind, the couple is hoping to raise more than they ever have for the I Care I Cure foundation.</div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv6413575110MsoNormal">
“This is kind of the last hurrah,” Lynn Hirsch said, later adding that as far as the journey’s fundraising goals are concerned,” … The sky’s the limit.”</div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Many of you may know that we are planning to depart on our last ride for I Care I Cure in December. It seems the right time to close this chapter as Glenn completes his journey around the entire perimeter of the United States. The map above is a fairly accurate depiction of his 10,000+ miles of pedaling for charities during the last 17 years. This will be the 8th year that we have hit the road for I Care I Cure in memory of Ian and these adventures have been exhausting and fulfilling. We hope that you will follow us and support us one last time!</span></b></div>
