Area women bike in Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for Childrens' Cancer Research Fund

Three area women, all of whom are avid bicyclists, decided to take their love of biking and exercising to a whole new level this summer.  Tracey Tepesch, Linda Wilder and Rose Heins logged the miles they rode during the month of June as they participated in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise money to Fight Kids’ Cancer through the Children’s Cancer Research Fund.

Tepesch, who saw information about the challenge on Facebook, thought it would be a wonderful way to raise awareness while doing something she enjoyed. Although the women competed individually, they had the option of forming a team. She explained, “We each set our own personal riding goals as we helped in the fight against kids’ cancer.”
