š“ Riding for Kids Fighting Cancer
At 75 years young, Mike McIntyre is preparing for his 12th Great Cycle Challenge, raising money for childhood cancer research. This year, his ride has an especially meaningful connection to a fellow Eagle Scout who lost his battle with brain cancer at just 16.
Mike is also bringing his fundraising efforts to the King of Prussia Mall over the next four weekends.
