The Ride for the Refuge is an event to raise public awareness about domestic violence with the ultimate goal of ending the generational cycle of family violence. By joining Ellen Allen, Executive Director of the Family Refuge Center, Lewisburg, WV, you will be demonstrating your support for ending intimate partner violence through increased education and community awareness.
It is not a fund raising event, nor is it a typical organized bike ride. No registration required and no fee. There are no refreshment stops, mechanical assistance or sag support. You should bring all the water and energy you need for the duration of the ride. The event starts on May 7 and ends May 11.
