7/15/2016 Now in its third year, the Life O’Riley Memorial Ride was started in memory of Michael Patrick Riley to raise funds in support of the Agency's program for grieving children. This year's ride is scheduled for Saturday, July 23.

Michael Riley passed away in April 2013 at age 34. “After the unexpected loss of my brother, I felt it was extremely important to turn our family’s loss into something positive for others. My brother left behind three young daughters, and we feel the work of the Healing Patch is extremely important for our community,” said Michael’s sister, Nicole Riley Earhart. This year's ride also honors the life of Brent "Powder" Williams".

More than $7,000 has been raised for the Healing Patch in the previous two years.

This year’s ride will leave from 4D's in Altoona. Tickets are $25 each. Registration begins at noon with departure at 1 pm. Doors open at 4D’s at 4 pm for children's activities, door prizes, t-shirts, and music by DJ Mike. Dinner will be served at 5:30 pm.
