  


On August 23rd,
2008, Women on Wheels MN Chapter sponsored the fifth annual Ride
for
Survival. Seventy-nine riders rode over a hundred miles on a beautiful
summer day,
raising $4600 to support the work of Day One®.
Cathy Meyers,
the Chair of Women on Wheels, was instrumental in organizing
the event
and making it a success. “Day One®
is
an ideal partner for Women on Wheels.
When we help Day One®
we
are helping victims of domestic violence throughout the
whole state of
Minnesota, including the victims living in small towns.
We are giving them a chance at a peaceful life,” said
Cathy.
The proceeds
raised by the ride will assist Day One®
to answer more than 9,000 calls
fromvictims of domestic violence, and
pay transportation costs for domestic violence
victims in need of
emergency safe housing.
Thank you to all
the supporters, riders, volunteers and donors
who helped to make this event a success!
