Eau Claire (WQOW) - An Eau Claire man will be riding his bike for 24 hours straight for charity.

Mark Anderson is riding for the 7th annual Ride for Ronnie event. Its in honor of his brother, who passed away in a motorcycle accident in September of 2003. The event used to be a motorcycle ride, but this year mark sold his Harley-Davidson and decided to keep riding off road.

"I've got a lot of friends that are riding with me today, I don't think there will be any point in time where I'll probably ever be alone. My whole family is here, my parents, my wife, my children are here. My mother-in-law," Anderson said.

Besides riding with mark, people made pledges and donations for the event. All the proceeds go towards the Ron Anderson Memorial Ball Field at Cleghorn School Park, which will be putting in lights later this year. Mark started his ride earlier this morning and will finish up tomorrow.
