Cheatham County State Sen. Kerry Roberts has announced that he will ride a bicycle 100 miles from Springfield to Waverly on Sunday, Oct. 31 to raise money and awareness for the victims of the deadly flooding in Humphreys County last August.

“Waverly and Humphreys County have a special place in our hearts,” Roberts said in a news release. “Dianne and I started visiting here soon after the new Senate districts were announced in 2012 and we were quickly adopted into the Humphreys County family. As the governor and I toured Main Street the day after the flood, it was all I could do to hold back the tears. The ravaging effects of raging waters were beyond my imagination.”

Roberts also noted that many of Waverly’s businesses did not experience direct damage from the flood but are experiencing indirect damage from loss of business and are endangered.

An anonymous donation of $50,000 has been made and Roberts encourages all donations helping to match that total be made directly to United Way of Humphreys County, PO Box 212, Waverly, TN 37185. A link for on-line donations can be found at the county’s official tourism website www.visithumphreys.com.
