Slideshow of Hope: Summer 2010

This past summer Ryan Dodge, son of executive director Corinne Clarke, and 90 other members of the fraternity Pi Kappa Phi traveled from San Francisco, CA to Washington DC, bicycling over 4,000 miles in 67 days to raise funds and awareness for people with disabilities. They stopped at Arc chapters en route to meet with a fascinating and diverse group of people.

We hope that you enjoy the musical slideshow of pictures he compiled from this inspiring journey!
