National Church Residences to Hold Motorcycle Run Benefitting Hospice

COLUMBUS, Ohio – On Saturday, September 17, 2022, National Church Residences will host its Second Annual Ride for Hospice at the No Cages Harley-Davidson dealership, located at 7610 Commerce Place in Plain City. Registration will open at 9 a.m. with kick stands up at 10 a.m.

The event, sponsored by the Flickinger Legal Group, will feature an hour-long covered bridge ride through Union County. The ride will be led by the No Cages HOG Club.  Along with the ride, the event will have concessions, a chance raffle, and 50/50 drawing.

For the first time, the one-day ride event will also be accompanied by a road challenge. Riders who participate in the Road Challenge are encouraged to raise funds as they ride 3,000 miles by October 31. All proceeds from both the covered bridge ride and the roach challenge will benefit the Hospice Caregiver Support fund.

National Church Residences’ Hospice is a system of specialized care designed for someone who has a life limiting health issue, delivered in whatever setting the patient calls home. The Hospice Caregiver Support Fund provides specially trained helpers to families caring for a loved one near the end of life. The program provides extra support to families, free of charge, during times of caregiver burnout or crisis.

“We are so excited for this event,” says Regional Director of Hospice Operations Toni Fisher. “I’ve worked as a hospice nurse for years.  I have seen day in and day out the amount of love and time and work that families pour into caring for their loved ones. That we are able to provide extra support for when those caregivers hit a wall or face their own challenges has meant the world to our patients and our staff. The Caregiver Support Fund is something that makes National Church Residences special, and I am so grateful to have the motorcycle community’s enthusiasm and support.”

Riders can register for the covered bridge ride or road challenge at rideforhospice.org. Same-day registration will also be available on September 17.  Donations to the Hospice Caregiver Support fund can also be made at the event or online.
