Patty, Webb continue ride

As you probably have seen elsewhere, Pat LaFontaine and Steve Webb are riding from the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto to the NHL Store in New York in a span of 2 days ... by bike.  They left Toronto at 11am Monday.

They are raising money for their respective foundations:

(Webb) W20 Foundation MISSION
Promotes social responsibility and community giveback through athletes in North America. Increase young athletes self confidence, promotion of responsibility, independence and overall help to build strong character.

A portion of proceeds will also support Alzheimer's and Dementia research.    

(LaFontaine) CIC Foundation MISSION
Building interactive game rooms in children's hospitals throughout NorthAmerica. These rooms connect hospitalized children to their family, friends and heroes. We will open rooms inCanada and NYC w/in weeks of the ride.  

Webb is blogging about it here:  http://w20foundation.blogspot.com/
