Ankeny man gets a new bike from his friends

Tweet

Eric and Erin Van Dorn who own Bike World in Ankeny Iowa decided to assist Kenny Randolph who works a 12 hour shift at the Firestone in Des Moines by bicycle which is a long ride of eight miles. The owners of the bicycle shop were concerned that Kenny who would leave one hour earlier before the sun would come out in the morning was riding his bicycle in the dark and without a bike helmet. The Van Dorn family invited Kenny to their bicycle shop to see if they could work out a deal to get Kenny a new bike before Christmas. Thanks to donations from persons who wanted to help Kenny, they donated around $1,200 dollars to give Kenny his new Phat bicycle after Christmas as a gift for their friend. Kenny was very happy that persons who heard about him working the long shifts at Firestone were kind enough to buy him a new bicycle. Despite the gloomy stories that dominated our headlines this year, good deeds were done to assist the needy this year. Hopefully in the year 2021, good deeds to assist needy people will continue.
