AKRON -- It was a parade fit for a king. Lebron James and the LeBron James family foundation spent Saturday in James' hometown of Akron to host the 2009 State Farm "King for Kids Bike-a-thon." LeBron's mother, Gloria, was there to kick-off the event.
The event is held each year to recognize and reward Akron-area children who have contributed to the community.
James' teammate Mo Williams, along with celebrities Chris Paul, Nick Cannon, and Lil J.J., strapped on their helmets and took to a one-mile ride through the city.
Hundreds of children received free bikes.
Proceeds from the bike-a-thon will benefit the Akron area YMCA and the Akron Urban League.
