By Lindsay SteeleThe Catholic MessengerBURLINGTON — Trekking 600 miles from Nebraska to St. Louis as a first-time Biking for Babies missionary was a test of physical and spiritual strength for Brandon Harrison, a fifth-grade teacher at Burlington-Notre Dame. He left that section blank in the application, and Biking for Babies was “very accommodating” as he discerned his involvement. In mid-December, after a number of conversations with Biking for Babies representatives, he made the decision to participate on two wheels. As Harrison’s group made its way toward St. Louis, he thought often of his family back home. Harrison finished the ride to St. Louis, and is now cherishing time with his family at home.
