Two cyclists journeyed over a thousand miles for charity and reached Maine on Saturday.

Britta Swanson and her cousin Karina cycled from Duluth, Minnesota, to Maine, covering a distance of fifteen hundred miles in three weeks.

They aim to raise funds for World Bicycle Relief, a nonprofit organization that collaborates with rural and low-income communities to provide bicycles.

They have nearly reached the halfway mark of their thirty-thousand-dollar fundraising target. To learn about donation options, Click Here
