The Ride for Missing Children
What started as a small group of bicyclists that hoped to raise awareness for the plight of one missing child has grown into the biggest annual fundraiser for the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
New this year…. Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse have a “Spoke & Hub” format offering various mileage options.
Our Mission:
To Make Our Children Safer...
One Child at a Time
The Ride stops at schools along the way for educational Rest Stops, and we “Ride-By” other schools throughout the day. At each school we visit, we bring our message of child safety and abduction prevention.
Before the Ride we reach out to schools “beyond our borders” with educational and awareness programs.
This way we reach hundreds of schools
throughout the year, each year.
History of The Ride
The bicycles are a tribute to Sara Anne Wood, who was walking her bike when she was abducted in 1993.
Bicycles are the vehicles we use to make our journey and carry our message along. They provide a visible means to spread our message about the plight of missing and exploited children, and the importance of child safety education.
We're fundraising for the cause to make a difference!
You can help fundraise for the cause once you register. Or just make a donation.
