Lower Westheimer is one of Houston’s most well-known streets, but on some fronts its reputation isn’t a positive one. Narrow and bumpy, the street is both a hub of retail and recreation activity and also a harrowing bike or automobile trip from time to time.

Longtime Friends to Race Through Western U.S. to Raise Money for Child in Need of Service Dog

By R. Stickney

www.nbcsandiego.com

Sophia’s mother, Mellisa Matthews, was moved to tears when she thought about what the race means to her child.

Two longtime friends are about to race hundreds of miles as part of one of their “crazy adventures” and help an Oceanside girl get a service dog at the same time.
Jon Holmquist, 48, of Austin Texas and Bryan Krause, 47, of Littleton, Colorado started off Monday on a 928-bicycle race across the west.
It’s the first time for both of them. Neither is a professional athlete. But there is …
