On July 9, Rick Shalvoy, who embarked last week on a 300-mile "Row for a Cure" around Long Island in a 19-foot dory, rowed onto Pryibil Beach to a cheering crowd of well-wishers. Mr. Shalvoy's yearly test of endurance, begun four years ago after the death of his dear friend because of breast cancer, is to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research. His stop in Glen Cove was made in special recognition of a newly-forged friendship with Glen Cove CARES, (Cancer Awareness Resource and Education Source), and the foundation's president and founder, Terry Petikas.

Unfortunately, there was the fact that there was a five-foot wall to contend with and they were only about three weeks old. FULL STORY
