Riders greeted warmly at St. Lawrence

Mike Crupi / Catholic Courier | 05.17.2013

Three hundred and fifty riders taking part in the Ride for Missing and Exploited Children, an annual fundraising bicycle tour, stopped at St. Lawrence School in Greece May 17. Students and staff gave them a warm welcome, cheering and holding signs with word of encouragment on them. After using the school restrooms, grabbing snacks and taking a breather, riders were back on the road for the rest of their 100-mile journey.
