Bike-a-thon benefits
children's hospital
This year’s St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital’s Wheels for Life Bike-a-thon will Ik- held 9 a.m.noon May 9 at the Caledonia Farms Road in Flint Hill.
Volunteer workers and riders are needed to raise funds for childhood cancer. St. Jude’s Research Center was founded by Danny Thomas.
Riders are s|w>nsored per mile completed. All riders turning in money receive a certificate. Those raising
get a T-shirt; those raising $75, a sportsbag.
“We really need lots of riders, since the center operates from public support, primarily," said Steve Young of Sperryville, one of Virginia's first unrelated Imne-marrow recipients.
“You don’t have to just bike it, either," said Mr. Young. “You can walk, run or wheelchair the course as well."
For details or sponsor sheets call Mr. Young at 987-9517 or coordinator Jon Heddleston at 987-81U7.
