National Tinnitus Awareness Week
Meet new member Sal Gentile. Sal recently developed tinnitus, the perception of sound where no external source exists. People affected by tinnitus describe it as “ringing, hissing, buzzing, and whooshing”, perceived in one or both ears.
During “National Tinnitus Awareness Week in May 2012,” Sal decided he would ride 100 miles in one day canvassing for donations. Sal says, "I will be bicycling the “The Withlacoochee State Trail”. It is composed of a 46-mile stretch of railroad track that was converted to a paved recreational trail. The North end of the trail is located in Citrus Springs south of Dunnellon, Florida and extends 46 miles to the south ending at the trailhead at Highway 301 in Dade City, Florida. I will be riding the trail back and forth in addition to some add on loop."
Sal welcomes All riders and it is only a minimum Donation of $25.00 for each rider. There are many former Military pioneers and civilians with this condition who will ride and support this cause. This will be a fun and worthwhile ride and The Tampa Bay Freewheelers supports Sal's "Top of the Bay Rails n Trails (FL)" ride. Our club will help with sag stops. etc. You can support Sal by joining and donating to team “Top of the Bay Rails n Trails".
