mile trek on the C&O Canal Trail to Washington, DC to raise money for more
Helping Hands, our financial assistance program for community members. than 15 states
This three-day trip across three states and the District of Columbia is not for
everyone, but it celebrates a dedication to health and wellness for those who
work hard to achieve beyond their disorder.
We hosted two regional Gears for Good bike rides, one each in Connecticut and
Ohio. The trails in these rides were less daunting than the national ride, but rid-
ers’ motivations were the same: to help our community.
One hundred percent of the contributions raised by individual donors went to
providing families and patients in need with emergency financial assistance for
expenses like housing, utilities, transportation, and medically-necessary goods.
