AMERICUS — Late into the evening Saturday, the phone at the Times-Recorder offices rang, and the voice, tired, yet kind sounding on the other end, said, “Is this the newsroom?”
Within a few seconds, Glenn Fenster, founder of DestinyMaker, a non profit charity organization based out of Aventura,Florida, told his tale.
He was in town for the evening as part of his 6,000 mile bicycle journey that he does to help find a cure about epilepsy.
According to Fenster, his reason for undertaking such a ride is his now 14 year old son, Nyle, who has had epilepsy since he was a tyke.
For more on the story, see Tuesday's edition of this newspaper, or visit Fenster's website at www.destinymaker.com.
Good luck Mr. Fenster! Keep us posted!
