💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to Bob Hoyles! 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Bob Hoyles for organizing the Ride in Memory of Jen Hoyles and to everyone who came together to support this meaningful event.

Thanks to the generosity of the riders, passengers, community members, volunteers, donors, and supporters, the event raised an amazing $3,200 for UPMC Cole’s Home Health and Hospice Department!

Bob’s dedication to honoring Jen’s memory while giving back to a program that provides compassionate care to individuals and families throughout our community is truly special. It was wonderful to be there and see so many people come together for such an important cause.

Thank you, Bob, for your hard work, generosity, and commitment to making a difference in Jen’s memory. And thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success.

Ride. Remember. Honor. 🏍️❤️
