(Local News ~ 06/11/23)
Friday evening, the Dyer County YMCA and Holy Angels Catholic Church welcomed the Texas 4000 bike group, who made an overnight pit stop in town while traveling on a 4,000-mile bike ride from Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. It is the longest annual charity bike ride in the world with all proceeds to benefit cancer research and patient programs. Riders in this year’s event have so far raised $350K that will benefit cancer research centers.
