This is the online resource that will now feature news, highlights and information about George’s upcoming Guinness World Record attempt and ultra spin cycling marathon on behalf of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. The site also has background information regarding George’s previous Guinness World Record setting event July 10-14, 2007 in Burr Ridge, IL which resulted in George setting the previous GWR at 111 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds.

To update everyone, George was recently notified by GWR in London, England that just two weeks after setting a new GWR in July, an individual from Tasmania set an unofficial GWR of 132 hours, which was only recently certified by GWR. George has now partnered with the Heritage YMCA Group, which has facilities and provides services in the towns of Naperville, Aurora and Oswego, to raise money for the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. In doing so, George hopes to draw awareness to the countless kids and families who need, and ultimately will benefit from the many donations and resultant programs associated with the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. In conjunction with this charity fundraising event, George will re-attempt the Guinness World Record for the Static “Spin” Cycling Marathon. George’s goal will be to far exceed the current mark of 132 hours. George assures all friends and supporters that his ultra Guinness World Record setting event will be done with the same passion and inspiration that touched so many lives and helped so many folks during the previous attempts, all of which started with George’s first attempt in January, 2007 on behalf of the Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS). We encourage the City of Naperville and the surrounding communities, all kids, families and friends to support the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and help George and the YMCA keep this record in the USA!

George’s “Y” Spin for Kids will start at 9:00 PM Sunday, May 4. George is projected to finish by 9AM on Sunday, May 11. Stay tuned for another exciting event!
