CANANDAIGUA – The 17th annual Tour de Thompson raised almost $4,100 for Rehabilitation Services patients of UR Medicine Thompson Health, bringing the total amount generated by the annual event to more than $51,000, to date.
Starting and ending at Onanda Park in Canandaigua, the bicycle tour through the Bristol Hills was held July 27, with 96 riders participating.
