Rider raises donations for charity organizations
from the San Antonio Express-News (full article)
Not long ago, Buddy Boren conquered cancer. Now he’s taking on Texas.
The wiry 64-year-old cancer survivor is biking alone across the state on a quest to raise awareness about the disease that kills more than 500,000 Americans each year and nearly killed him.
He’s also raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps soldiers injured overseas to transition to civilian life.
This is Boren’s sixth time on a long-distance bicycle jaunt.
Previous rides have taken the Dallas native around Texas’ perimeter, all the way to Los Angeles and even from Dallas to New York.
