What started as a joke over the summer has turned into a 1,000-mile charitable expedition for BMX biker Jeff Smee, of Mt. Lebanon.
Mr. Smee, 25, and fellow competitive BMX biker Bryce Toole, 23, of Orlando, Fla., set out from Mt. Lebanon on Sept. 15 with nothing but their bikes and the contents of their 45-pound backpacks. They are traveling to Casselberry, Fla., to raise money for the proposed Pitcher Park in Dormont.
The Pitcher Park Memorial Foundation is headed by former Dormont resident Mary Pitcher, who wants to build a professional-style skate park to honor her sons, Vincent and Stephen Pitcher, who drowned last year while on a camping trip.
