This event will be a part of a major event linking riders from 2 states in support of Federal and State Equal Parenting Rights.
Fairless Hills PA. July 5th, 2009: Pennsylvania Families and Childrens Equality are holding its first annual road bike trek to promote State House Bill 463 -- the Presumption of Joint Physical Custody in the State of Pennsylvania.
- Bill Koellner of Levittown, Pa and Bill Gibbons of Fairless Hills, Pa will ride their bikes 310 miles from Independence Hall / Peoples Park thru Harrisburg down to DC in only 4 days.
- Both riders will meet up with a group from Lansing Michigan on Thursday July 16th on its last 80 mile trek down to DC ? in conjunction with the annual "ParentStock" Festival held on the Lincoln Monument.
Monday Morning July 13th at Peoples Park / Independence Hall ? Phila. Pa. from 9-11am.
Speakers from PA FACE will discuss topics that relate to this underpublicized issue ? Non Custodial Parents who want equal time with their children.? House Bill 463 will bring both parents closer to their children.
The ride"s goal is for media attention for the bill on the floor, as well as to show that non-custodial parents (mostly fathers) want to be in their children"s lives ? but the courts and laws separate them by broken / outdated legislation and Title 4D of the Social Security Act.
To get more information, please contact Bill Gibbons at the above cell phone or email address.
Both riders will be available for interviews and photo opportunities.
