For the past 28 years the Wertz Warriors have started their week-long journey through Northern Michigan at American Legion Post #370 in Skidway Lake. Each year Post #370 has donuts and refreshments to welcome the many riders on their long trek.
The Wertz Warriors are a fundraising group that travels all throughout Northern Michigan raising funds and awareness of the winter games for the Michigan Special Olympics. As the Commander for Post #370, it was my privilege to award the first check of many that they will receive along the way.
Among the crowd at the Post was Mary Florian, from Rose City, and her two Special Olympian Athletes that compete in the winter games each year.
