Ahmad Rivazfar and Ed Smart will bicycle from Buffalo to Rochester today (July 29th) as part of the training for “The Ride for Their Lives,” a 3,500-mile cross country ride to raise awareness of the Surviving Parents Coalition.
The pair will join other volunteer cyclists this August as they make their way through 26 cities, from Rochester, N.Y. to Los Angeles, Calif. The awareness campaign, “Ride for Their Lives,” seeks to increase public knowledge and $1,000,000 to help advocate for laws that protect children and fight to eradicate predatory crimes nationwide.
Rivasfar and Smart will launch out from Northtown Auto Sports Centre at 1615 Amherst Manor Drive in Williamsville at 11:00am today.
