The cyclers of Ride for Rwanda ride in to Williston Wednesday evening. The six riders are joined by Ben Biondo, the driver of the van, and Kevin Cusack, the father of one of the riders and a board member for Project Rwanda.

Six students from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, and Grand Rapids, Mich. cycled through Williston Wednesday afternoon.

They started in Anacortes, Wash. on June 16, since then they've biked over 1,282 miles (over 200 in the last two days). They plan to finish their ride in New York City sometime in August. The total length of the trip will be about 3,700 miles.

This journey isn't just some summertime amusement. These guys are riding to raise awareness and purchase bikes for the people of Rwanda. Their mission is a part of Project Rwanda.

"We're promoting tourism, trying to raise money for bikes and trying to promote the Rwandan national bicycling teams," said Kevin Cusack, the father of one of the riders who is temporarily riding with the group.
