A group of bikers going across the us stopped in Anson this past weekend, and made a stop in Abilene for lunch, to help raise money for the Blood Water Mission. The Ride Well Tour, which is raising money for clean water in Africa, started in San Diego, CA, and will conclude in Myrtle Beach, SC. The group of riders spent this weekend speaking at a few church services, hoping to get the word out to the big country and all over the US.

"Different churches, different audiences and different experiences for us just as a team," said rider Emily Boyd. "Meeting with different people in the community who want  to know what's going on in the world that maybe don't have the same perspective being from different states."

The group plans to make it to South Carolina by the end of July - and will be headed to Breckenridge next.

Donations can be made at www.ridewelltour.org.
