In the Wheels For Life Bike-A- Thon, riders ask sponsors to make a donation based on each mile completed. All riders turning in money will receive a certificate. Those who raise $30 will get a certificate and a special St. Jude- T-shirt. When $75 is raised, the rider receives a barrel tote bag as well as the certificate and T-shirt. There will also be prizes for the top riders donated by local businesses. “The real prize, though, is the pride everyone can take in giving children a chance to live a normal life,” Makara said.
