Couple Biking Cross-Country to Raise Funds for Leader Dogs

Mark and Debbie Mansell from LaCenter, WA, will bike into Rochester Hills today as part of 24-day, 48-state tour.

Mark and Debbie Mansell, a motorcycle-riding couple from LaCenter, WA, are taking their affection for leader dogs on the road.

The couple will pull into Rochester Hills' Leader Dogs for the Blind, 1039 S. Rochester Road, today as part of a 24-day, 48-state tour that began June 15 and concludes July 8. The couple is using the trip to raise awareness and funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind.

The trip is in partnership with Leader Dogs for the Blind and Lions Clubs across the U.S.

Mark Mansell last year raised more than $100,000 in a cost-to-coast bicycle tour from Portland, OR, to Portland, ME.
