Journey of Hope riders make Carson City tour stop at WNC to raise awareness for people with disabilities
Journey of Hope riders arrived at Western Nevada College in Carson City on Friday with the enthusiasm and support of the capital city community. The group of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members bike ride across the country each year to bring awareness and support to people with disabilities.
Journey of Hope has been one of WNC’s top spring events since 2014. The college and Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities partner to host the group of philanthropic-minded cyclists who travel across the country to help people with disabilities.
Journey of Hope is part of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity’s national efforts to serve people with disabilities. Their annual journey spans 32 states and 12,000 combined miles of cycling. Go here to learn more about the ride and organization.
Besides visiting with the participating cyclists, the public was able to connect with local organizations committed to serving and supporting those with disabilities.
The event was in conjunction with WNC's community night. The event provided community members an opportunity to check out WNC resources and programs. Go here for more photos.
