Celebrating our 19th year in August 2024!
With your support, this year’s Last Mile promises to be our most record-breaking and community-strengthening event yet. Three days of (fun!) fundraising activities include a bicycle ride, timed 5K, walks, and motorcycle ride (how it all began!) over two weekends in August. Funds raised help families and their loved ones who are at the end of life cover the costs of alternative therapies, transportation, family meals and portraits, and unique wishes.
REGISTER NOW and join us for all the fun. (Online registration closes at 3 p.m. Aug. 15.)
