Steve Rice, left, and Dave Kummer turn off their smart phones Friday after a bike ride from Buffalo to Gillette, just one leg of a cross-country journey to Maine to raise money for Fanconi anemia research. For 40 years, Kummer, 61, said he had wanted to ride across the country, but he didn’t have the time. Then he retired and brought up the idea with his friend Rice, 66, who suggested they do it for charity. They decided to focus on Fanconi anemia, a hereditary disease that affects the bone marrow.
