Thank you all who participated in the first Mercy Ride last year, either as a rider, sponsor or volunteer.
Last Year's Journey
Last year, our team of 19 riders embarked on an incredible journey, collectively covering an impressive distance of over 430 miles. This remarkable effort was not just a test of endurance and camaraderie; it was a mission fueled by a deep commitment to make a difference in the community. Our choice of 3 routes of different lengths allowed each rider to choose a path appropriately challenging for their skill level. Through their hard work and determination, they successfully raised a total of $10,000, which was directed towards supporting the invaluable services offered by Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Clinics.
The Mother of Mercy Clinic, located in Manassas, Virginia, stands as a beacon of hope and healing for those in the surrounding areas. Operated by Catholic Charities, this clinic provides a range of essential health services entirely free of charge, ensuring that individuals and families who may be facing financial hardships still have access to quality healthcare. Among the various services offered at the clinic are preventative care, management of chronic conditions, OBYGYN, mental health, optometry, and physical therapy
The funds raised by our riders and generous sponsors play a significant role in ensuring that the Mother of Mercy Clinic can continue to operate and expand its services. This financial support is critical in allowing the clinic to reach more individuals in need, ensuring that no one in the local community is deprived of essential healthcare services. The impact of our riders’ efforts extends far beyond the miles they covered; it resonates deeply within the lives of those who rely on the clinic for their health and well-being. Through this support, we contributed in a big way to a mission that embodies compassion, care, and community service, ultimately helping to uplift and empower those who are most vulnerable.
We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all those who rode, volunteered, sponsored, or prayed for the tremendous success of last year's ride.
