Father and Sons Bike Cross Country for Charity

Usually, when a father asks his sons if they want to go for a little bike ride, he doesn’t mean across the country, but that’s exactly what James, John and father David Mackovjak are doing. Starting June 28th David and his amazing kids will leave Puget Sound and arrive at Virginia Beach August 9th.

It sounds like the trip of a lifetime, and would deserve to be mentioned here on its own merits, but the Mackovjaks are using the experience to help others, and that makes it all the better. The trip is a fund-raiser that will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, and the Wounded Warrior Project. This is one inspirational family.

We wish John, James and David the best of luck on their trek.

Do you know an inspiring young person? We’d love to hear about him or her. It’s easy to toot a horn for your inspiring kid. Post a blog on my site, submit a story for inclusion in my book “Kids Who Inspire,” or email me at gordon@kidswhoinspire.com.
