DENVER — An Alaska boy sad-
hened by the death of a classmate
from cancer says he is trying to be-
Jorne the youngest American to bicy-
Ele from coast to coast to raise money
fo combat the disease.
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.
