Ross Welfl riding for "Coins For Cancer"
After recently losing two uncles, a grandfather and two good friends to cancer, a Yellowstone cowboy is riding the region for cancer research. On June 13th, Ross Welfl of Cody, Wyoming began his journey to cover hundreds of miles for "Coins for Cancer". Welfl has traveled over 400 miles to reach the Farm And Ranch Museum. After a few days off in Gering, his journey will continue north. He has picked out his route yet, but he will be heading for the Black Hills.
Welfl is traveling approximately 20 miles per day with three horses and one mule. Periodically Welfl is updating his website with the status of his ride.Wilfl says he has no expectations for community support. He says it's up to the people of Nebraska and on into to South Dakota to start anteing up for research for cancer. He has enough to worry about with his horse stock, himself, rattlesnakes, traffic and glass.
Welfl is riding for cancer until August 28th, when he will return to Cody as a hunting guide.This isn't Welf's first charity ride. Back in the early 1980's he rode over 300 miles in 13 days and raised over $3,000 for Jerry's Kids.
