Sean O’Keefe, 11, of Fairbanks, Ivas in the Denver suburb of Com- Inerce City during the weekend for a stopover on his 3,200-mile trip from Santa Monica, Calif., to New York City. He set out Aug. 16, accompa- jiiied by two vans carrying his parents |md his brother and sister. Sean said he was making the ross-country ride “to do something [for children.” He said he “felt so bad” when a classmate died of can cer that he decided to do something to fight the disease, and his bicycle trip provided an opportunity. Although people in areas Sean passed through have offered money and checks for cancer research, the youth said he and family members have asked that all contributions be sent to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. Sean said he averages 150-210 miles a day. On Friday, he endured a pelting rain to climb the steepest as cent of his transcontinental trip — 11,992-foot Loveland Pass west of Denver. Earlier, Sean rode in 1 10-degree heat in the desert areas of California and Arizona, with his brother, Brian, 3, keeping him cool by squirt ing water on his head and back. The only official sponsor of Sean’s trip is his family. “We put this all together our selves,” his mother said. “We sold a car and a motorbike and a small ivory collection to get the money to put this together.” Sean has been an avid bicyclist since he was 8. In September 1982 at age 9, he said, he bicycled 365 miles from Anchorage, Alaska, to Fairbanks in two days. After his arrival in New York City in late September, Sean plans to travel to Washington. He was invited to the capital by Alaska Sen. QUICK AS A FLASH Welcomes Back The Aggies!
