Identical twins Benjamin and Solomon Hayon, 2007 graduates of High School South, participated in the 36th annual Anchor House ride this month. They are the first pair of identical twins to have ridden together in this charity bike event. They also rode with their father, Jack Hayon, 58, chief financial officer at Educational Testing Services. The brothers graduated from Wake Forest University in 2011. Ben works as an analyst for Deloitte in New York City while Sol is studying medicine at the University of Maryland.
West Windsor resident Russell Buckley, 2008 High School North graduate, also participated in the ride with his father, Russ Buckley.
More than 180 participants rode their bikes from Lexington, Virginia, to Lawrence to raise donations for Anchor House, a Trenton-based non-profit that provides shelter, food, and clothing to abused or neglected runaway youth. The ride raised more than a third of the annual operating cost for the charity.
