Special bicycle gives a taste of freedom to Veterans Home residents in Cape Girardeau | Southeast Missourian
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Residents at the Missouri Veterans Home in Cape Girardeau have been more mobile than usual lately, thanks to a recent donation, and soon will be even more so. As more than 100 people gathered for music and barbecue Saturday afternoon, a wheelchair bicycle tandem could be seen looping around the parking lot.
The money to buy the special bike was raised by the American Legion Riders, Chapter 158, of Jackson, who saw a similar bike while on a ride and resolved to acquire one for the Veterans Home, said facilty volunteer coordinator Debbie Monroe.
