Donald Montano, DDS, is riding his bike across the U.S. to raise money for Smile for a Lifetime, a nonprofit organization that helps increase dental care access among children and young adults, according to local ABC affiliate KERO-TV.
Dr. Montano, who runs a dental practice in Bakersfield, Calif., hopes to raise $50,000 for the organization during his 3,400 mile ride.
He is slated to begin his journey on Sept. 12, and should complete the trip in five to six weeks if he is able to cover 100 miles a day.
