On July 1, 2010 Greg is going to pedal a human powered boat across the Pacific ocean from Canada to Hawaii. Learn more about this world-first expedition at http://www.pedaltheocean.com
Greg’s pursuit of the limits of human power inspires a refreshing ‘do more with less’ philosophy. It also opens up opportunities for a larger discussion he feels is desperately needed, confronting the serious issues we face with skyrocketing childhood obesity rates.
As part of the Pedal The Ocean project, Greg would like to give away 3000 bikes to 300 kids, but he needs your help. Sponsor a mile for $50 and for every mile that Greg pedals WiTHiN across the Pacific ocean, Kimberlee’s Bikes for Kids charity will donate one bicycle to a deserving child who can’t afford one.
Motivational Speaking
Greg is a successful and inspiring motivational speaker. His spirit is contagious. His message is vital. Greg’s motivational speech entitled “Bold!” is an entertaining look at the kind of attitude it takes to realize a dream, based upon the immortal words of German Poet Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe:
“What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it, for Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
