On the Road Again


On Wednesday May 22nd the brave CEM bike riders embarked on their 900 mile trip through Wisconsin.  For the 8th year these bike riders, led by former Kids 'n Kinship mentor John Elder, have biked 900 miles to raise awareness & funds for Kids 'n Kinship.  In years past they've biked from Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska & Iowa.  The ride is named the Christian Elder Memorial Bike Ride for Christian Elder, John's son, who passed away in 2007.

This year the riders are John Elder, Kids 'n Kinship board member Dennis Hill, Kathy Kelly, Bob Porter, Nate Cline, & Kids 'n Kinship former mentor Larry Koehler. They bring an RV and road crew Dave Goodermont, Jay Saterbak, & Jim Elder.
