Kacies Ride for Hope
...by Pat Barron
On July 26, 2006 I lost my sister Kacie tragically as a result of domestic violence. Our lives will never be the same.
Somehow through my grief I had this Idea to create a ride in my sisters name. All I did was mention it at the famous clean and sober "Fugarewe" coffee meeting and a handful of friends stood up, prodded me along and got things rolling.
Going on bike runs was one of Kacie's favorite pastimes. In her memory, Kacie's Ride for Hope was established two falls ago with the ride traveling through Hope Valley, in her memory.
Kacie was a strong supporter of "The Center for Violence-free Relationships" (formerly "The El Dorado Women's Center"), as the center was working with her when she was tragically taken.
We wish to continue to honor Kacie's memory by helping to spread awareness and support to help end domestic violence.
All of the proceeds generated from ticket sales for the ride, along with the raffle and monetary donations, will be donated for the benefit and support of "The Center Services". Last year, Kacie's Second Annual Ride for Hope was a huge success and it is our goal to continue this ride for many years to come.
My hope is to cause the ripple affect, county to county, state to state etc...
I Hope to see you all.
Thank You
