“As many of you know, my aunt (Jamie Feltz Riley) was diagnosed with MS and passed away in
August of 2014. In her memory, I applied for a bike ride (Bike the US for MS)
which begins in Bar Harbor, Maine and ends in Seattle, Washington.
“I am
proud to announce that I have been accepted and will be participating in the 69-
day ride this summer! I am beyond humbled to be able to do such an amazing
thing for a person and cause so close to my heart.
“I
have to raise $1 for each mile I ride, so if you are interested in donating or

Every dollar counts! Let's beat this disease!
Jamie
was the daughter of Monongah’s legendary, late coach Jim Feltz, who guided the
Lions to state football titles in 1952 and 1955, and Betty Lynn Wilson Feltz,
who lives in Fairmont with her son, retired & long-time Monongah High math
teacher.
Kaylyn is a junior at Bowling Green
State University majoring in psychology. She wants to become a clinical psychologist
specializing with children. She lives in Marietta, Ohio.
This isn’t her first charity bike
ride.
Last year she biked 180 miles from
Bowling Green to Cincinnati and back to benefit Children's Miracle Network.
“It was an amazing experience,” Kaylyn
wrote. “I knew it wouldn't be the last time that I rode my bike for someone
else.”
