St. Marys Alumni Al Decesaris arrived at Davidsonville Elementary on Monday, Oct. 21, after bicycling across the country from Santa Monica, CA, to raise money for research of Sturge-Weber Syndrome which afflicts his niece, nine year old Jenna Heck of Davidsonville.
Thus far he has raised $25,000 during the ride which will end in Ocean City, MD.
