Four Bike Across America for Wounded Veterans
A retired Marine will attempt a remarkable event this summer, biking 3,700 miles across the U.S. to raise funds for wounded Marines and sailors. John Foldberg, at age 57, will be accompanied by Daniel and Nathan Macfarlane and Evan Gillham. The four Atascadero residents have formed a group named “CCC4Vets” or “Cross-Country Cyclists for Veterans.” They will leave Anacortes, Washington on August 1st and bike 60 miles a day until they arrive at Virginia Beach, Virginia mid-October. A combat veteran from Desert Storm, Foldberg also served in Afghanistan in the Helmand province in 2009-2010, and Iraq 2010-2011. Because of his experiences, Foldberg wants to raise $20,000 for the Semper Fi Fund which provides immediate financial support for injured members of the military and their families. For more information, contact John Foldberg at 6108102, visit ccc4vets.com, or track the team’s progress on Facebook: CCC 4 Vets. Donations can also be made directly to semperfifund.org.
