Biking For Achromatopsia
June 22-27, I am biking 335 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC along the Great Allegheny Passage and Chesapeake & Ohio Canal to raise awareness for achromatopsia research and funding for a cure. My son was born with this rare genetic eye disease and recent clinicial trials have made a future cure a possible reality. Achromatopsia patients are day blind, have extreme sensitivity to light, poor acuity, nystagmus, and complete color blindness. Thank you for your support.

Day 1 Recap (6/22/17)
Here's a video recap of day 1 - 62 miles from Pittsburgh to Connellsville, PA (last two hours in darkness).
Long Day 1
Today was much longer than originally planned. Since the weather forecast is rain and thunderstorms most of Friday, we decided to ride 62 miles to Connellsville (vs our original 22 mile plan). Since we didn't get on the trail in Pittsburgh until 4pm, we ended up riding in the dark until after 11pm. It was a pretty tough day, but now we only need to go 17 miles tomorrow to Ohiopyle, PA. I'll post a compilation video tomorrow. Until tomorrow...
