My cousin's son was recently diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. Poor thing (he's 7) is being brave but there are days when he can barely move around.
Anyway, his grandfather and his aunt decided to raise money and awareness of JA by riding their bikes ACROSS THE COUNTRY. The bike trip is expected to take 42 days, moving from Seattle across Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia, ending in Kitty Hawk, N.C.
Below is a link to the newspaper article about the ride.
You can read more, make a pledge/donation, or just follow their progress at www.grandpasride.com
Forgive yet another off-topic post but considering their efforts, I felt it important to spread the word.
