Biking to raise awareness

0

Winding their way through the state of Nebraska and heading east, Perry and Kennan Fraylick of New Madison are biking to bring awareness to the need for a cure for pediatric cancer in children.

They are in the midst of a journey that started in Florence, Ore., on June 6 and finishes in Virginia Beach, Va., in July.

The last word from Cindy and Matt Fraylick, parents of Perry and Kennan, the trip is successfully moving along. They average about 100 miles per day. So far the boys have raised over $10,000 for cancer research.

Years of cross country, marathon and iron man events serve the boys stamina for this grueling trip. The link to the fundraiser is www.alexslemonade.org/mypage1567280.

If you want to donate to our local young men and their cause for children, check out the Kick-It (ALSF) web site.

Perry is a teacher in Sandusky and Keenan is now a student at Purdue University.

If your child missed the first week of Camp Growth, bring them in to register before the 11 a.m. start time on Tuesday.

The United Methodist Church is again welcoming community youngsters to three days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) of fun and learning. The day wraps up at 3 p.m. After a week off for the July 4th observance, the program resumes for two weeks. Lunch is provided and there are activities to keep everyone busy with a break from television and our digital world.

Camp Growth works with the New Madison Public Library during the summer.

The library is moving ahead with “A Universe of Stories” for the summer reading program. On Thursday the Armstrong Air and Space Museum is presenting the Electric Snaps Workshop. You will need preregistration. See how electricity works by building your own circuits from 2-3 p.m. This program is sponsored by the Farmers State Bank.

The 2019 5K is in the records book and was noted as another success.

The annual event helps the United Methodist Church in its local ministry to serve the community.
