Public Service
Robinson’s first significant entry into public service began in 1988, at age 26, when he planned and executed the Ride for Reason; a cross-country public-awareness and fund-raising solo bicycle ride that benefited the Alzheimer’s Association. He rode 4,700 miles, from Miami to Seattle, meeting with association members and support groups in 25 cities in support of local media and fund-raising events. In January 2007, Robinson, as a trained volunteer of Al Gore's The Climate Project began making presentations throughout central Ohio about the challenges and opportunities available to us in addressing our energy-climate problems.

Famous quotes related to public service:
“Men and women approaching retirement age should be recycled for public service work, and their companies should foot the bill. We can no longer afford to scrap-pile people.”
—Maggie Kuhn (b. 1905)
