Spring Valley YMCA member, John Curcio, will help raise money for the YMCA’s 2019 Annual Campaign by biking 100 consecutive miles in the lobby of the Y on Wednesday, March 13th.
Curcio completes the 100 mile ride using the YMCA’s Sci-Fi Arm Bike, which allows Curcio to pedal with his arms instead of his legs, following a spinal cord injury he suffered in a roofing accident in 1988.
Additional stationary bikes will be set up in the lobby at the Y, located at 19. W. Linfield-Trappe Road in Liimerick, allowing other members to ride alongside Curcio as he completes his 100 miles. Members are encouraged to make a pledge or provide a donation to the Annual Campaign while Curcio completes the ride.

He will ride from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This will be Curcio’s fourth year raising funds for the YMCA, which he credits with helping him adjust to his new life following his accident. He supports the Y’s mission by participating in the bike ride, and also as a part-time staff member who works at the Welcome Desk, coaches Youth Basketball, and teaches Ping Pong.
