Find a Cure for Epilepsy

March 16th, 2009 · No Comments


On April 27th, 2009 Glenn Fenster, Founder of DestinyMaker will embark on a 6000 mile bicycle journey from Aventura, Florida back to Aventura, Florida. Along the way Glenn will ride through and possibly stay in cities such as…
Tallahassee
Atlanta
Asheville
Philadelphia
NYC
Bangor
Halifax, Canada
Toronto, Canada
Chicago
Orlando
Miami
His inspiration and reason for this ambitious undertaking is his 14 year-old son, Nyle, who has suffered from acute epilepsy since he was just two years old. Glenn is riding to show his son that no matter what the disability, everyone has the capacity to reach for their dreams. He does not ride just for his son, but for other kids and adults living with epilepsy.

In 2006 Glenn biked 4036 miles from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida, to promote epilepsy awareness, with the support of the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. In 2007 Glenn’s ride from Alaska added another 2500 miles to his journey along with the challenges of the ‘northern climate’, which can be unpredictable and definitely much colder then what he experienced previously. According to Mr. Fenster, “This trip pales in comparison to the courage my son and others exhibit each day”. In 2008 Glenn’s 3rd annual ride was 8100 miles from Denver to Miami. (the long way).

As some of you may know, I will begin in late April my 4th annual North America bike ride for epilepsy awareness. This 5800 mile ride will take me from my home in South Florida to Maine. Then into Canada toward Halifax in hopes of meeting a little girl named Cassidy who has asked the world to wear purple on March 26th. After I will make my way west toward Chicago to meet up with Idea League an Organization that helps those with Dravet’s Syndrome, a sever form of Epilepsy. On my way I will stop in cities large and small. I will go contact every newspaper and TV station along the way. This will be my first time starting from Florida. My route though not clearly defined as of yet is posted @ www.destinymaker.org.
