A Fast Ride Across Iowa in a Day, or AFRAID event was a success according to Leah Garland of Bethany Christian Services. The event took place on May 18 and covered 259 miles across Highway 2 to raise money for the expectant parent counseling program at Bethany Christian Services. The event raised only 52% of the $25,000 goal, but an adoptive family filled in the gap to help total more than $25,000.
