E'leese Madgett-Manrique, 12, of Buffalo, Minn., rode through Litchfield Monday as part of her One Girl One Ride journey around the state, which aims to raise money for a kind of dude ranch for military veterans. Her mother, Kerry Madgett, explained that the goal of the ride is to encourage everyone in the state to donate $3 — roughly the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks. If that were to happen, the ride would raise about $16 million. Hear E'leese's story here.
