Bicyclists needed for fund-raiser

A nonprofit organization that provides free counseling for depression needs volunteers to ride bikes to raise money.

Life Support Rally riders can pedal 6, 12, 35 or 50 miles on April 30 to raise money for Lawrence’s Headquarters Counseling Center.

The counseling center’s services also include suicide intervention, support groups for teens and adults who’ve lost a loved one to suicide and school programs on children’s safety.

The center is a member of United Way of Douglas County.

Riders will start at Sunflower School and go toward Clinton Lake dam. They must pay a registration fee or collect a suggested $50 in pledges. Registration fees increase after today.

The event is sponsored by various groups, including Sunflower Broadband.

For more information, call the center at 841-2345 or visit www.lifesupportrally.org.
