Help the Rainforest Riders

Not a cyclist? Here's a look at some other ways to support the upcoming "Ride for the Rainforest."

Last month,, president of the Rainforest Rescue Coalition, about the group's upcoming Ride for the Rainfores, which begins on May 18. 

What we didn't include was a series of upcoming events created to support Bauer-Golden and the other Oak Park-River Forest High School alumni who are helping make the fundraiser a reality. Here's a look at some other ways you can support the riders, via their official website:
