Ride for Missing Children - Mohawk Valley Day 1

Photo taken at the Ride for Missing Children 2013 by one of the riders ~ used with permission I was going to write about the impact the statistics had on me yet decided not to. Only 3% of abductions of children are non-family. The Heidi Search Center of San Antonio, Texas, sent a search and rescue expert to help us find my sister, Heidi M Allen. Our Heidi, was one of their 3% not recovered or found. Heidi disappeared on April third, another three. 

Something to ponder...on a happier note, let this year's Ride for Missing Children commence with much success and keep our children safe...one child at a time. Will you join us in praying for good weather, safe travels, endurance, strength, and whatever God places on your heart.

A special thanks to the over 500 cyclists, the hundreds of volunteers, family members, and all involved in making this such a powerful and encouraging weekend that helps the families of the missing throughout the year. To the communities and law enforcement and rescue personnel, thank you for your hospitality and love.
