DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, June 14, a team of cyclists participating in the Journey of 
 Hope, presented by KRG Capital, will kick-off a nine-week, 4,000-mile 
 cycling event across the country to raise funds and awareness for people 
 with disabilities. Two of the three teams will depart from San 
 Francisco.\n\nOn Saturday, June 13 the team will begin the day with a 
 practice ride and photo opportunity.  Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. the team 
 will have kickoff speeches at the Golden Gate Bridge before starting their 
 ride.\n\nThe Journey of Hope is a program of Push America, the national 
 philanthropy of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, which raises funds and awareness 
 for people with disabilities. The Journey of Hope team consists of men from 
 Pi Kappa Phi chapters across the country. The team will cycle an average of 
 75 miles per day, beginning in San Francisco and ending in Washington, 
 D.C., on August 15. \n\nFor the team, the real journey will not be on a 
 bike, but spending time with the people for whom they are riding. The 
 Journey of Hope team members will spend every afternoon with people with 
 disabilities in many different community events and activities. These men 
 are striving for community inclusion of people with disabilities and are 
 helping to break the barriers of society that keep people of all abilities 
 from living life to the fullest. \n\nPush America was founded in 1977 with 
 the hope of committing its members to enhance the lives of people with 
 disabilities. With the combined efforts of sponsors and individual team 
 members, this year’s Journey of Hope will raise more than $500,000 on 
 behalf of people with disabilities. Push America and Pi Kappa Phi have 
 fundraised over $13 million to date and continue to be on the cutting edge 
 of the disability movement.\n\nFor more information about this event or
