Friends of the Ludwig family showed up on wheels on the Bronx River Parkway on Sunday June 8th for the 7th annual bikeathon for the Michael Ludwig Foundation. The bikeathon is held in memory of Michael Ludwig, who died from an undetected congenital heart condition at 9 years of age. Many of Michael's friends and their families came out to remember Michael and enjoy a special ride.
The Foundations' mission is to enhance awareness, detection, and treatment of congenital heart conditions especially among young athletes. Most recently it has been funding medical research involving coronary anomalies. Learn more at www.michaelludwigfoundation.org
