Two good reasons to ride

URBANA – About two dozen people, many of them donning yellow, were on their bicycles at Meadowbrook Park Tuesday night for LiveSTRONG Day, to raise awareness and money to fight cancer.

The Urbana bike ride was one of hundreds of events across the country sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The foundation supports cancer prevention, research, access to care and quality of life for cancer survivors.
