Teen rides to California, raises $32,000

Cold Spring Harbor High School student Kent Gillin spent most of August pedaling his bicycle from Vancouver, B.C. to San Francisco, C.A. to help raise money for Companions in Courage. Gillin's trip began on Aug. 5 and ended 1,045 miles later on Aug. 23. Gillin averaged more than 60 miles per day and raised over $32,000 for the CiC foundation.
