Best Buddies Bike Ride

On June 1, 2013, Cheshire residents Kelly Rosadino and Sofia Martone will be riding their bikes 50 miles from Carver, MA to HyannisPort MA. They will be riding alongside their buddy, Bobby Anthony, in honor of people with disabilities. Last year, they rode 100 miles from Boston to Cape Cod to promote awareness of Best Buddies programs nationwide. Best Buddies is a non-profit organization geared towards creating mutually enriching one-on-one friendships between people with disabilities and people without disabilities. The Best Buddies program allows for the buddies to be accepted within the school community and attend outside events such as the prom and homecoming dances. Please consider making a donation to help them achieve their fundraising commitment at: www.teambbct.org. 50% of proceeds go towards establishing more Best Buddies Chapters across CT, while the remaining 50% goes towards establishing more chapters around the nation!
