Long Rider with a Cause

Ross Welfl was a bull rider when he was a young man. The Cody, Wyoming native is older but may not feel wiser some of the days he’s riding horseback along the roads from Cody to New Mexico this summer. He’ll be doing a lot of nights alone under the stars and spend a few with family and friends. We met him yesterday along Wyoming Highway 20-26 between Shoshoni and Casper. Welfl went on a ride for charity once before, back in the early 1980s, but not near as far as he’s going this time to raise money for the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.

Ross Welfl is calling his trek “Coins for Cancer” and you can donate by sending money to: Bank of the West, 1330 Sheridan Ave., Cody, WY 82414 The tax ID number is: 62-0646012 You can also give online and follow Ross’ progress by going to: www.coinsforcancer.blogspot.com
