View from the Hill: Bike4Alz team begins trip next week

  “When I went through recruitment I remember all the guys talking about it and immediately I knew this is something I want to do.” WKU senior Justin Geilear will be thinking of his 87-year-old grandfather who suffers from Alzheimer’s when taking part in Bike4Alz this summer.  “He’s been getting worse as time goes on of course but the one thing he always remembers is that I am biking across the country for Alzheimer’s.” Justin is one of 12 riders and two drivers who are continuing a Fiji tradition that began in 2010. More than half of them were prepared to ride last summer when the pandemic changed their plans.
