Freelife Marketing Executive Bikes For Charity

Although Director David Weigel is a relatively new member of the FreeLife Family, he has already fully embraced FreeLife’s passion and commitment to children. After three educational and fun-filled days in Orlando, Florida, at FreeLife’s SERVE 2007 Convention, David was ready for the next big challenge in his life. Rather than board a flight for his journey back to Maine, David mounted his bike instead to make the 2000-mile trek—all the while raising money for one of his favorite organizations—the Children’s Miracle Network.

David’s journey lasted 24 days and took him through 11 states, ending in Bangor, Maine, at the Eastern Maine Medical Center (one of seven state hospitals which Children’s Miracle Network donations benefit). David even managed to lose 12 pounds!

At 47 years of age, David was a bit apprehensive to attempt such a grueling trip. However, after discovering the power of Himalayan Goji Juice, he was determined to accomplish his goal. “I wanted to set an example for kids in particular who spend too much time drinking soda in front of video games,” said Weigel. “I really want to encourage young people to get out in the world, to play sports, to ride a bicycle, to work their bodies while they get a good chance to.”

Since the start of his trip on September 16, David’s efforts have raised hundreds of dollars. Pledges and donations came from across the country (most notably in Maine). FreeLife supported David’s trip with cases of Himalayan Goji Juice to keep him going, and made a donation to the Children's Miracle Network through GojiKids® on his behalf. The Company applauds his commitment to serve, his abundance mentality, and his inspiring accomplishment!
