What is the Thank You-19 Ride? An Explanation by Michael O’Brien
“Every July 11th I like to get outside my comfort zone and support others because I'm only here today because others helped me during my crisis. July 11, 2001 is My Last Bad Day - a speeding SUV hit me head-on during a bike training ride that morning, and I'm thriving today because of others. This year I will celebrate 19 years by cycling (inside for safety) 19 hours for 19 charities supporting others today. I'm calling it The Thank You-19 Ride. Learn more at www.michaelobrienshift.com.”
