Let's Ride
In the last edition of the Ohio Legion
News we published an article about 6th
Grader Emily Clark and her family. Emily
suffers from MCD and needs a special
exercise bike to keep her muscles from
deteriorating. Post 3 established a
special fund to raise the $4,000 necessary
to purchase the bike. In a little more
than a month, with donations from the
Family Support Network and TFA (Temporary
Financial Assistance) from the national
American Legion and from around the state
and even Indiana and Florida, the dream
became reality. Post 3, working with the
Hancock County American Red Cross and
Nu-Steps Corporation, who provided a
reduction in cost and delivery of the
device, were able to provide Emily with
the bike and provide Emily's mother Lydia
a check for over $3,000 to use for
additional items needed by Emily.
