Special Cycling Events
Fivepointsoflife.org  Every two years LifeSouth, which operates community blood banks in Florida, Alabama and Georgia, sponsors a cross-country bike ride that promotes five different forms of life-saving donations: blood, apheresis, marrow, cord blood, and organ and tissue. LifeSouth is looking for 12 riders - capable of pedaling 15 mph for nearly 3,000 miles - who have some personal connection to one of those five points.
