During its eight year existence, the Fallen Riders Foundation has struggled to find solid ground. Originally begun to educate riders on the need to have legal paperwork in place because when it's needed it is too late! ... and to provide assistance in the most extreme of circumstances, it soon became apparent that there was a much greater need. |
As an all volunteer organization with its hand tied by IRS tax exempt regulations, an idealistic dream became a logistic nightmare. Changes of leadership brought different visions, and items of importance got lost in the shuffle with an ever changing staff. Still, people in all areas wanted to help, and the Foundation branched out. |
Every year in April, the Fallen Riders Foundation puts on an Awareness Event called Ride For Your Life. Yes, it's a fundraiser, but more so, it is about building the local riding community. Whatever you ride, whatever your affiliation, or not, ALL are invited to join in and bring the family.
