BUTLER TWP -- Hundreds of bikers came together to raise money for local cancer patients at the 13th annual Riding for the Cure fundraiser July 27 at American Legion Post 778 in the Lyndora section of Butler Township.

To date, Riding for the Cure has raised more than $450,000 for local cancer patients, according to Ned Kerr, the nonprofit’s co-founder and vice president.

Riding for the Cure board member Barbara Morgan said all the money raised goes toward assisting cancer patients with their bills and everyday needs.

“Our main objective every year is to raise as much money as we can for local cancer patients,” Morgan said. “So, none of our money goes toward research or doctors or anything like that; it goes straight to the patients to cover any medical bills.
