Lathrup Village, Mich (WXYZ) -      Over 800 people will get on bicycles Friday morning in Traverse City and start to ride. That includes Kevin Degen of Lathrup Village.

     Kevin has Cerebral Palsy but his own challenges don't keep him helping others and serving as an inspiration to all.

     For the fifth straight year, Kevin will  take part in the Wish-A-Mile 300 Bicycle Tour , which is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the charitable organization.  Participants ride 300 miles, from Traverse City to Chelsea over a three day period.
