Proceeds from the event support Purple Heart Homes and their mission to provide safe, accessible housing for aging and disabled veterans. This year’s challenge will include a special guest speaker and Paralympian Patty Collins, along with a post-ride celebration featuring live music, food trucks, and fun activities for the whole family.
