A group of four cyclists is set to bike 105 miles this weekend for a good cause.

They will be biking from Somers to Battery Park in Manhattan. The bike ride will go through the Empire State Trail on Saturday for the ride.

It's called "Pedal for Purpose."

They're doing it to raise money for the organization, Forgotten Children of Haiti. The organization helps give children food, shelter, health care and education.

For one cyclist, it means a lot to do this.

"My parents started Forgotten Children of Haiti. My sister and I volunteered very often, and we were a part of the fundraising efforts at the time. I never imagined myself in a role where I'd be the lead fundraiser and I would also have a community supporting me," says Michael Esposito, who helped organize the event.
