A recently retired teacher from Withrow University High School s cross-country bike journey to raise money for his former school s students was imperiled before it began when his camper van broke down on Interstate 70 in Colorado.
Former teacher Mike Finnegan and his team, Rahim Spence and Rebecca Jansen-McKinnis, hope to raise money for the Mike Finnegan Health and Wellness Scholarship Fund for vulnerable students pursuing college degrees in health, wellness or education. They were towed to a garage and back on the road within 24 hours of the Colorado breakdown.
But the van broke down again in Utah the following day, was briefly fixed and died once more in San Bernardino, California. That s where the camper has now retired, Finnegan said. He wrote his team has been feeling desperate and was in need of a reliable vehicle to get them through the rest of its journey to Washington, D.C.
