Bo Jackson Rode His Bike 300 Miles, Raised $400K For Tornado Victims (Photos)

This guy. What a stud. Bo Jackson, the former NFL and MLB great, rode his bike 300 miles across Alabama in five days to raise $413,000 for the state's Governer's Emergency Relief Fund. A year ago, tornadoes ripped through the state, which is still in recovery. 

The ride was dubbed "Bo Bikes Bama." Jackson was joined on parts of the ride by some huge sports figures, including Lance Armstrong, Ken Griffery Jr., Scottie Pippen and skier Picabo Street. 

Nike got into the mix, too, creating a new shoe just for the event—but never fear, they'll have plenty for you to buy come June 29. 

Pictures were posted throughout the ride to the Bo Bikes Bama Facebook page and Twitter account. (All were taken by Glenn Kasin.) Here's one of Jackson with Armstrong.
