Father Bikes Cross Country for a Cure

He`s traveled 35 days and cycled more than 2000 miles.Glenn Fenster is on a cross country journey from Seattle to Miami. "I`ve had flat tires, monsoon rains, winds that have knocked me over. But I keep getting up." said Fenster. He`s making the more than 3800 mile treck in an effort to raise awareness for the fight against epilepsy. A cause that is close to his heart. "The journey`s been difficult. But this trip pales in comparison to the courage my son and other children show everyday of their lives. When they never know when a seizure is going to occur." said Fenster. Glenn says his 12-year-old son has been battling epilepsy most of his life. He hopes his journey will not only raise awareness, but will also inspire doctors to keep working toward a cure. "So they keep finding the strength within themselves to find new medicines to eradacate this terrible disease." said Fenster. After a brief stop in Shreveport, Glenn is strapping up and heading back on the road, hoping his quest will lead to a cure. Fenster hopes to make it home in time to spend Father`s Day with his son.
