Taking on Guiness Book and a Worthy Cause all At once

January14

For 85 hours George Hood focused on nothing but pedaling his bike.? He was allowed a 5 minute break for each hour of pedaling completed.? However, other than that, he was on a mission to pedal, and pedal, and pedal some more.? What he was racing toward wasn’t really any particular location; after all, he was pedalling on a stationary bike.? What he was after, however, was a title in the Guiness Book of World Records and a successful fundraising drive for the Illinois chapter of COPS, an organization specifically designed to help the families of slain police officers.? He did both.? The title, upon proper certification by Guiness officials, will be his AND the event raised $25,000 for COPS.? Hood had about 200 people on-site to cheer him on for a job well done.? Congratulations for doing something that not only provides you a sense of satisfaction and acknowledgment, but also helps a group of deserving people.? Nice Job!
