Westport Residents to compete in Race Across America
In June, Jim LeBelle, owner of Village Bicycle
and Tim Bryant of Westport, will embark on an extraordinary journey that will
test the utmost limits of their physical endurance, mental resilience and
commitment to a cause. As competitors in the 2009 Race Across America (RAAM), they
will hop on a bicycle and pedal on their own power with a team of 8 crew
members across the length of the American continent, 3,000 miles from Pacific
to Atlantic, stopping to sleep only when necessary. Together they have set a goal
to not only compete in, but win the 2-person category together! They recently announced their charity title
sponsor… The Coalition for Buzzards Bay and are now TeamSaveBuzzardsBay.
They will be racing with a goal to increase awareness for
cycling in our community and to raise money for the Coalition for Buzzards Bay
to help protect and preserve the watershed.
Jim wants “to prove that anything
is possible when you set your mind to it and anyone can overcome struggles so
that you can live your dream. This is one of my biggest dreams and now it is my
chance to complete the Race Across America.”
With your support and donations Jim & Tim
will have the necessary resources to accomplish their goal. A large portion of
your donation and any money remaining after the race will be donated to The
Coalition for Buzzards Bay to contribute towards protecting and preserving the
Southeastern Massachusetts watershed we all enjoy so much.
