Riders with the Journey of Hope shared smiles and high fives with patients at Shriners Hospital in Shreveport Tuesday.

Cyclists from Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity across the country stopped in Pratt during their 4,300 plus miles trip across the U.S. to raise funds and awareness for people with abilities of all kinds.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northwest Colorado in Craig housed a group of 38 cyclists and crew members Thursday night en route from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., to raise funds and awareness for people with disabilities.

They’re fraternity men on a mission, which is why they’re cycling across the southern part of the country at the hottest time of the year. They’re the participants in the 2017 Journey of Hope, and they’re riding to raise awareness of and funds for people with disabilities. They made two stops in the Parker area June 24 before setting off for Wickenburg early in the morning of June 25.

They’re all members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. The Journey of Hope is coordinated by The Ability Experience, the charitable wing of Pi Kappa Phi. Parker has been a regular stop on the Journey of Hope for several years now.
