EDITORIAL:  It's an amazing feat, 14-motorcyclists riding cross-country in the name of children in need of medical services.  It's even more amazing when more people donate to the cause.

It's called Scott's Ride for Miracles.  Scott Ressmeyer and 13-other Miracle Riders hitting all 48-lower states in only 3-weeks; all in the name of raising money for the children's miracle network at the Medical Center here in Columbus.

To donate just go to our website wtvm.com and click on the Quick Links tab in the upper left corner and show you support for the riders.

The riders get no money to support their 21-day and thousands of miles journey.  They all go out of pocket over $5,000 each.

Last year they raised over $140,000 with the hope of raising $1 million in the next few years.

Please donate. We know Scott and his Miracle Riders as well as the children will much appreciate it.
