A couple weekends back, we had a motorcycle ride for homeless Veterans. And now this coming Saturday August 20th, it’s the 3rd annual RIDE FOR RECOVERY, a 106 mile ride from Danville, into the back roads of Indiana, and back; for the Step Recovery Center and those who have dealt with recovering from addiction. Wendy Lambert talked about this a couple weeks ago on Laura Williams’ Community Connection program on 1490 WDAN. And as Lambert reminds us again this week, the Step Recovery Center has their their new location at 2500 Georgetown Road in Danville. She says this ride is also in memory those who fought the battle against addiction, and didn’t make it. She says the Step Recovery Center is waiting for the arrival of a grant they’ve been rewarded, and just keeping their eyes on this mission of helping all people live better lives.
AUDIO: Not only for the addict in recovery, but just the public in general. There will be wellness workshops, for like how to improve your life or your marriage and how to be a better parent. Some people maybe need help with their finances, so we’ll be able to have finance classes that help you navigate through filling out a checkbook. Some people don’t even know how to do that.
If you haven’t signed up yet or would like more information, go to the Step Recovery Center’s Facebook Page. It doesn’t have to be a motorbike, anything with wheels is welcome. Starting point is the Village Mall in Danville right near the McDonald’s, with registration at 10 AM and kickstands up at 11. The finishing point is Temple Plaza in Downtown Danville, with riders expected to roll in about 3 PM. There will be live music, food, and also some import informational booths, with the Health Department and the Rape Crisis Center expected to participate. A candlelight vigil honoring loved ones is scheduled for later in the evening.
