MUNCY, Pa. — Gregory Fleck is riding his tricycle for Go Joe 25. Fleck, 22, has cerebral palsy and has been raising money for the bike ride for the past seven years.
"I think the main idea just to help others is incredible for the center," he said.
Kristin Fleck, Gregory's mother, has been a huge advocate for raising money for St. Joseph's Center. She says taking care of kids with special needs can be expensive.
"There are many children and adults in our community who cannot be taken care of at home like Gregory can be, and they have to go to a facility like St. Joseph's Center up in Scranton."
This weekend, Gregory will host a fundraiser at the Church of the Resurrection in Muncy. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.
"We are doing a walk, ride, bicycle, even skateboard in our own parking lot here to support Go Joe 25 and St. Joseph's Center in Scranton," said Fr. Glenn McCreary, the church's pastor.
"His enthusiasm for this is just so contagious. We just love working with Gregory," Mary Toder said.
Folks are encouraged to come and support Go Joe and Gregory. You will be able to make donations to the bike ride at the church. All proceeds will go to St. Joseph's Center.
"We are doing this just to help people, and I think that is a point to life, to God, and to others."
If you can't make it to Muncy this weekend, you are still in luck. Gregory will be hosting another fundraiser at St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Milton from noon to 3 p.m.
