Unintended Consequences of Serving Others | Bob Lee | TEDxBarringtonAreaLibrary

Giving back through helping others fills our lives with unexpected rewards. Bob Lee, founder of Ride for Three Reasons calls those rewards, “unintended consequences.” Riding cross county on his bike to raise money for ALS, cancer, and hospice, Lee found his own life full of those unintended consequences waiting for us all, if we only give back. Bob Lee was honored with the Outstanding Volunteer Award-for the contributions he made to raising funds and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS), cancer and hospice care. In 2001, Lee organized his first cross-country RIDE to benefit ALS research and hospice programs; he rode more than 3,200 miles from California to Florida. In 2007, Lee completed a second RIDE up the east coast and across the northern border of the United States. He cycled 6,500 miles and raised almost $500,000. In 2012, Lee embarked on the RIDE for 3 Reasons. His trip began in Vancouver and ended in Mexico. He peddled over 2,000 miles and raised over $875,000 for the Les Turner ALS Foundation, American Cancer Society, National Hospice Foundation, and Hospice and Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois. When Bob isn't planning his next ride or supporting ALS, cancer, or hospice; he devotes his energy to several volunteer boards and committees that support conservation, biking, and his community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
