Glen Magpiong joins host Tommy Cassell from Ohio. Magpiong is in the midst of a cross country journey on his bicycle to help raise awareness for ALS.

A Wellesley resident, Magpiong is riding with his father, Earl, and with fellow Wellesley resident Tucker Swan. They are riding for former junior varsity boys basketball coach, Paul Seaver. Seaver was the JV coach, while Magpiong was the Wellesley boys basketball coach. Seaver was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) during the 2010-11 basketball season and died from it in 2013.

Magpiong, the girls basketball coach at Wellesley High School, first cycled across the country in 2014.

Magpiong is calling his ride the "Tour 2 Cure."
