Hirsch, 62, is a member of a four-man cycling team pedaling 3,100 miles from Oceanside, California, to Annapolis, Maryland, to raise funds for his 21st Century Dads Foundation, an Illinois-based not-for-profit.
Hirsch, who works in financial services, is the host of the Dad to Dad podcast on the Special Fathers Network, the foundation's signature program that's a dad-to-dad mentoring program. Some of the kids are featured on the podcast. by signing up you agree to our terms of service Hirsch is not a father of a child with special needs. He has five adult children ranging in age from 26 to 33. The oldest has two children.
His Dads Honor Ride team is competing against 10 other four-member teams in the 41st annual Race Across America. Hirsch said each state poses its own challenge: in Arizona, it's the heat; in Colorado, the elevation; in the Great Plains, the wind."As long as we're safe and injury-free, that's the most important thing," he said."This is a fundraiser. We're not trying to prove anything. Two guys are in their 50s. One guy is 47. We're athletic. We're not athletes."
