Pub Def regrets not covering State Rep. Talibdin El-Amin's admirable bike ride this weekend from St. Louis 143 miles to the State Capitol in Jefferson City. The City Hall sit-in kept us busy (can't wait for those interns). Labels: State_House
El-Amin and his brother, Larry Bastain, Jr., made the three-day ride along the Katy Trail to bring attention to Kidney disease, a disease that almost took the life of their father six years ago. El-Amin saved his dad's life by donating one of his own kidneys.
"He added six years on my life by donating one of his kidneys," father Larry Bastain, Sr. told TV station KOMU. "For them to ride 140, 150 miles, for such a great cause, this is a day to be proud of."
