Chris Potvin and his son James Potvin are raising money by taking a long bicycle ride from Ontario Canada to Coney Island in New York which started on August 18, 2018 and ended on September 1, 2018.
The distance of the bicycle ride from Ontario to New York City was 650 miles which lasted around two weeks.
The reason that Chris and his son are taking these long bicycle rides in Canada and the United States of America is that James is suffering from autism.
It impresses me that the Potvins are raising money to raise awareness for autism by taking these long bicycle rides together which has raised money for the work of charity.

Well, very nice of them to be involved. Are they the organizer of the event. Autism is a worldwide phenomenon. I hope it will go across around all countries. Thwir act could be the beginning of something big. We also participate in autism walk here.

@Deepizzaguy It will be a big help if everyone will have acceptance. Those people with disability are differently abled and they just need to be accepted by the people

That is true since neither person is a celebrity that I know of.
