Two riders in next month’s Pan-Mass Challenge bike-a-thon for cancer research will team up at a benefit fundraiser July 25 featuring comedic hypnotist Frank Santos.

First-time rider Maureen Mullen of Rochester will be joined by author Ken Brack of Plympton, who recently published the story of the fundraising event, “Closer By The Mile.” They will appear at The Book Shack at the Independence Mall in Kingston, with book signings by Brack from 6:30-7:30 p.m., and Santos‘ performance at 8 p.m. The comedy show is a fundraiser for Mullen, who plans to ride the main 192-mile route.
