The man on the bicycle.

Rev. Scott W. Alexander is an endurance athlete who regularly bikes and swims. Though knee surgery sidelined Rev. Alexander's ambitions as a marathon runner, he has maintained his interest in long-distance cycling. He has completed two cross-country charity bike rides (2005 and 2008), raising over $20,000 for Washington, DC’s Clinica Del Pueblo, a free health clinic serving the Latino and immigrant community. At age 62, despite the replaced knee and severe arthritis, he is preparing for a 3,300-mile trek with a $50,000 goal. The Ride To Beat Hunger is his most ambitious effort to date.
