Eleven young cyclists, who are riding from Baltimore to San Francisco raising funds for the Ulman Cancer Foundation, made a stop in Princeton on Saturday, June 24.

The Ulman Cancer Foundation provides resources and support to young adults with cancer. Each cyclist was required to raise at least $5,000 in order to participate in the ride.

The group enjoyed showers and a swim in the pool at the Bureau County Metro Center and was given a dinner at the Open Prairie United Church of Christ.

The cyclists slept on the sanctuary floor and were sent off at 5 a.m. Sunday, June 25, after a quick breakfast.
