The two are on a 1,200 mile ride through the bay Watershed to raise awareness of the state of the Bay and what we can do to improve the watershed, as well as children’s cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins and the American Diabetes Association.   

 

“We all benefit from a clean Bay.” according to John.  “We hope to demonstrate that healthy communities, healthy lifestyles and a healthy Bay are all connected.”
