Third Annual Journey of Hope to Be Held for MACC Fund

Margaret Ann’s Place and the MACC Fund, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc., are pleased to present the Third Annual Journey of Hope on Saturday, September 6.. Registration is limited. Participants should register by the August 31st deadline! Entry brochures are available through your local Trek dealer or by calling the MACC Fund office.

The annual bike ride along Lake Michigan will begin and end at Lake Andrea in Prairie Springs Park in Pleasant Prairie. Lake Andrea is located two miles from Highway 94 at Hwy 165 in Kenosha. The course will loop through the beautiful countryside of Pleasant Prairie to the breathtaking shores of Lake Michigan.

This event is organized to be fun, yet challenging for riders of all levels. Select the 45, 25, or 2.5 mile route option. All routes lead to a great experience!

The entry fee is $15 per rider and includes a pre-ride breakfast and post-ride festivities. The Journey of Hope requires that riders raise pledges. The money raised will help the MACC Fund support childhood cancer research, and support Margaret Ann’s Place, a center for grieving children, teens and families. Trek Bicycle Corporation will reward the top fund raiser with a beautiful new bike!

This ride provides unrivaled support for all riders, with rest stops every 10-12 miles, stocked with Premium water, fresh fruit, and a variety of high-energy snacks. Bike mechanics and support staff will be present along the route.
