Thanks to everyone who participated in the special benefit ride for former member Adriana Ospina yesterday morning. We had over 70 people attend. Some came to help with the organization; others came to cheer and support but the majority came to ride for Age. PacWest was proud to help lead the largest group around Paradise loop. It was a beautiful morning to ride and a lot of fun.

Thanks also to those of you who registered for the ride despite not being able to actually attend. Your support and contribution is so very much appreciated by her family and friends. We’re thrilled to announce that the event rose over $3,500 to help with her medical expenses and many other miscellaneous costs during her recovery. FYI, there are a number of other fun fund-raising events scheduled in November. We’ll be sure to forward the details soon.
