Volunteer Highlight – Jim Angelus
Ten years ago, four dedicated IOCC supporters made history riding their bikes cross country to raise awareness and funds for IOCC's worldwide humanitarian work. The lead rider, Jim Angelus, is ready to repeat this feat in honor of IOCC's 20th anniversary. Jim, along with two other cyclists, Konstantin Kanelis and Brett Mckey, will cycle 3,000 miles in 37 days from Washington State to New Jersey. Dan Mckey and Ora Shelter will serve as Support and Gear (SAG) crew.
Jim is an Orthodox Christian of Greek descent. He and his wife, Lynn, are blessed with 20-year-old twin sons, Nicholas and Evan.

In 2002, Jim realized his goal to cross America on bicycle, the 2002 Race to Respond, an event that benefited IOCC's efforts in aiding the lives of people suffering from war, poverty and natural disasters around the globe.
The ultimate goal of the 2012 Race to Respond is to inspire and attract local, regional and national support to IOCC's humanitarian work. We invite you to become part of this inspirational undertaking and help demonstrate how the efforts of a few individuals can make a world of difference.
