VIRGINIA MAN COMPLETES POWER CHAIR RIDE FOR MS
Virginia resident Randall Pope finished a 250-mile power chair ride across the state.
He undertook the journey to raise awareness and funds for Multiple Sclerosis research.
Pope was diagnosed with MS in 1995 after serving in the Army.
His ride started at Christopher Newport University and concluded at the Pentagon on June 2.
The route included stops at several Virginia universities.
He received a celebratory welcome and a challenge coin upon arrival at the Pentagon.
Pope stood to salute a Navy officer he encountered there.
Future rides are planned for the coming years.
Money raised is intended to help paralyzed veterans in Virginia and North Carolina.
Donations are still being accepted via his fundraising page.
