A cyclist biking across the country to raise awareness and money for polycystic kidney disease research stopped in Phoenixville this week, according to a staff report from CBS Philadelphia. 

Glenn Frommer, who is living with the disease that still has no cure, left San Francisco on May 1 and has since cycled more than 4,400 miles. So far, Pennsylvania has been the highlight of his trip. 

“Very sharp climbs so amazing speed, great roads,” he said. “There have been a lot of dedicated bike trails, so the state of Pennsylvania did an incredible job in supporting the cycling community.” 

Frommer has raised over $500,000 for the PKD Foundation and he hopes to increase that number by at least $77,000 before he ends his trip on Sept. 2 in Cape Cod.
