Councilman Labriola successfully completed the ride, cycling 8 miles and personally raising hundreds of dollars. In total, over $100,000 was raised by more than 400 riders who participated in this fantastic event. Longtime News 12 Long Island Anchor and cancer survivor Carol Silva was also honored with the Empire State Ride Long Island’s inaugural Courage Award at the event.
