2006 Volvo Best Buddies Challenge - Hyannis Port , Mass

On May 20th, I will be participating in the Volvo Best Buddies Bike Challenge in support of my son Alex.
Through Best Buddies, hundreds of thousands of people with intellectual disabilities have successfully moved from segregation and desolation to a new acceptance in their family and community.

Stacey and I  love this program and are working hard for their expansion throughout New York State. Alex is an awesome kid. Ever since his arrival, it became evident that we do not need to make Alex worthy for the world – but need to make the world worthy of Alex. Right now, Best Buddies is our vehicle to do this.  Help support  the cause....
