Local man bikes 6,500 miles for charity

As part of the pilot for a Greater Cincinnati program designed to “help those with Parkinson’s and other neurological diseases such Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia,” Cincinnatian Joe Motz rode 6,500 miles around the U.S. to raise money for the cause.


To date, he has raised just under $250,000 towards his $300,000 goal. The ride started on Aug. 2 and ended last Thursday with a celebration at Big Ash Brewing. To read more about his ride and to find out where to donate, click here.
