Montana is a popular destination for cyclists who want to experience the beauty of nature up close, but some of those cyclists also ride for other motivations.

Every year in mid-June, a group of college-aged bicyclists pedal their way across the United States raising money and awareness for those with disabilities.

They’re back. Since 2014, Western Nevada College has hosted a group of philanthropic-minded cyclists who travel across the country to help people with disabilities.

A Journey of Hope TransAmerica team will stop in Walla Walla Saturday after an 80-mile bicycle ride from Richland, the fourth day of a 4,370-mile cross-country event to raise awareness. They will gather at 5:30 p.m. in Wildwood Park, 7 S. Division St.

This summer, two SUNY Geneseo students will bicycle across the country for charities.

A few years ago, Nick Barton rode a bike and raised thousands of dollars for people with disabilities during a Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity philanthropy event in Florida.
