In October, we told you the story of Ray Spooner, the Urbana man with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, who was embarking on a bike ride across the country to raise money and awareness for ALS research.  Ray is back home after finishing his ride, though it was anything but smooth.  As Illinois Public Media’s Brian Moline learned this week, Ray’s “little ride” has turned into something much bigger.

To find out more about Sunday’s benefit at the Iron Post in Urbana and all the other fundraising the Spooners are doing for ALS research and awareness, visit Ray Spooner's blog at rayslittleride.com.
