Holden police officers will lead off the Family Trek on bicycles.  West Boylston police will also help fit helmets and provide new helmets to those who need them.  All those who complete the Trek will be recognized with stickers on their entry tags, and children will receive small gift bags with bicycle and walking safety information.

The Family Trail Trek is cosponsored by Wachusett Fitness in memory of Dylan Seymour who died from leukemia at age 3. Families and individuals who register are invited to contribute to the Mass Central Rail Trail fund and a bench will be placed on the trail in memory of Dylan.
