Neighbors in Hardeeville got out-and-about this morning for a good cause.
It was the second annual “Mayor’s Bike Ride for a Diabetes Cure.”
Bicyclists of all ages hit the pavement in the lowcountry to raise money for Diabetes research.
Dozens took to two wheels for a three-and-a-half-mile race around Hardeeville–to show their community spirit. And Mayor Bronco Bostick says he couldn’t be prouder about the turnout for the event.
“We are trying to raise awareness in our community and let them know how serious diabetes really is, and I think with african americans its 1 out of every 5 contract it by age 50, african americans and american indians are leading the statistics right now, and I just want to keep my community informed so they can stay healthy and also gainfully employed.”
Neighbors like Christine Foskey enjoyed the race as well.
“It really brings that feeling of pride in the community, and we just enjoyed it, it was a beautiful day for it, and I finished!”
All proceeds from the race go to the American Diabetes Association.
