A Sunny Day for the BMP Bike-A-Thon
On Sunday, September 11th over 300 enthusiasts biked for their health at the 12th edition of the BMP Bike-a-thon and raised $76,000 to help finance a new
Mobile Cardiac Echogram. They were rewarded with a beautiful sunny day for their excursions. After the ride the fun continued with lunch and the presentation of numerous prizes.
