100+ Bicyclists Riding from Ground Zero to Boston
100+ Bicyclists Riding from Ground Zero to Boston. The 270-mile trip is a fundraiser for Beyond the 11th, a nonprofit founded by two Boston-area women who were widowed on 9/11. Beyond the 11th supports widows in Afghanistan who are impacted by terrorism, war, and oppression. “They saw that [there were] many many more widows in Afghanistan, and there’s very little a widow can do for herself in Afghanistan,” said Dan Shugrue, of Somerville, who is one of the bicyclists making the trek.
