Eight bikers do cross-country bike ride for special needs children
Riding along! Eight bikers traveled from southern California to Brooklyn all in the name of charity during the Investors Bank Bike 4 Friendship Tour.
On Sunday, August 17, their 3,000-mile and 38-day journey reached its conclusion at the finish line, 2997 Ocean Parkway in Brighton Beach. Hundreds of friends, family and Brooklynites gathered near the finish line to cheer on the riders who were raising both money and awareness for the Friendship Circle, an organization that betters the lives of children with special needs.
“I would definitely say it’s one of the bigger accomplishments in my life,” said rider Eli Black, who rode in the marathon for the first time. “We climbed through deserts and sometimes it was 115 degrees throughout the day. We cycled through canyons and mountains. Through the Friendship Circle, we helped children with special needs and developed great friendships.”
