Light.Life.Hope Fund, Hannibal Regional Cancer Institute benefit from Memorial Day ride

HANNIBAL, Mo. — The Quincy (Ill.) Bicycle Club and the Goldinger family of Palmyra recently gave a generous gift of more than $5,000 to the Life.Light.Hope Fund at the James E. Cary Cancer Center and the Hannibal Regional Cancer Institute in memory of Charlotte Goldinger.

Goldinger was a retired Palmyra school teacher and avid bicyclist who died from leukemia. The ninth annual Memorial Day Ride was held Monday, May 29, and included many cyclists riding in memory of Charlotte.

In a press release, Charlotte’s husband, Bill Goldinger, said, “Charlotte loved anything that had to do with bicycling and gathering family and friends together. It’s what makes the Memorial Day Ride so special.”
