SANDWICH, MASS. (WHDH) - Hundreds of riders took off for the annual Best Buddies Challenge on Saturday, including a few familiar faces!
Bikers rode from Boston to Hyannis Port to support the organization’s mission to change the lives of people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
7NEWS is a proud partner with Best Buddies, continuing a relationship forged by the late owner of our station — Ed Ansin. There’s still time to donate to the station’s fundraiser in his memory.
Members of the 7NEWS Team started their ride 10:30 a.m. The Team also had time to meet with some of the buddies before setting off on their 20-mile ride.
7’s Kim Khazei, Jeremy Reiner and Jadiann Thompson checked in with the station from Sandwich ahead of their ride on a somewhat dreary day.
It’s Reiner’s first time participating in Best Buddies, and he reported that rain hasn’t hindered the event, and there’s a wind coming in as well.
“No matter the weather, we’re Boston Strong,” Thompson said.
