The 2006 tour attracted 839 riders and generated $56,500, representing nearly 75 percent of the Zero Pay Fund’s current annual revenue. The fund provided care for 460 adults and children who otherwise may have gone untreated.
The Bob LeBow Bike Tour honors Dr. Bob LeBow, medical director and specialist in preventive medicine at Terry Reilly Health Services for over 25 years. LeBow was a life-long cyclist as well as being a health care advocate. LeBow rode his bicycle over 200,000 miles on six continents, including across the Himalayas into Tibet. Dr. LeBow passed away November 29, 2003, of complications resulting from a bicycle accident in 2002.
