Amputees Bike into Tyler

TYLER — The group known as Amputees Across America passed through Tyler Monday morning. The group of amputees making a 3,500-mile transcontinental bike ride arrive at Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital (affiliate of HealthSouth) to visit with and inspire patients. The five cyclists are riding in 150-mile relays across the United States, visiting hospitals and local amputee support groups to increase public awareness of amputees as people with active lifestyles. This is the ninth year Amputee Across America has made a cross-country journey. You can go to http://www.amputeesacrossamerica.com to follow the 2010 journey.
