HEALING ON THE KATY TRAIL: HIKE＊BIKE FOR MILITARY VETERANS

“…because a family’s love is good medicine.”

Missouri Daughters of the American Revolution joins The Fisher House Foundation

and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to host “Hike＊Bike for Military

and Veterans” on Saturday, September 21, 2019. Hike＊Bike is a charity walk

and ride of various lengths across Missouri on the historic Katy Trail. All monies

raised will support three new Fisher Houses in Missouri: Kansas City Fisher House at

the Kansas City VA Medical Center; Columbia (Mid-Missouri) Fisher House at the

Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital; and a second St. Louis Fisher House

at the St. Louis VA Medical Center.

DAR is committed to helping military families. “From our founding days,” says Cindy

Such, State Regent of the Missouri DAR, “caring for veterans and the military has

been a major priority. Today, hospitalized veterans and military deserve our special

consideration and support.” Fisher Houses are similar to Ronald McDonald Houses

except they provide a home for families of hospitalized veterans and military. “Family

members can stay in these houses…AT NO COST TO THEM…,” Such says, “and for

as long as their loved one is hospitalized…whether that is days, weeks, or months.”

The statewide goal for Fisher Houses is to raise $3.1 million through donations and

fundraisers across the state. The Missouri DAR plans to raise significant funds to-

ward that goal through their Hike*Bike event. All of the Hike＊Bike money raised will

stay in Missouri.

Once the $3.1 million goal is met, the Fisher House Foundation will

match that donation and build another Fisher House in Missouri.

“The Fisher Houses of Missouri Campaign will help tens of thousands of veterans

and military for decades to come,” says Denise Dolan, Chief Advancement Officer,

Fisher House Foundation. “Nothing will help them more than having their families at

their hospital bedside to provide love, care, and support.”

On event day, Hike＊Bike participants can enter and exit at designated trailheads

along the Katy Trail—Augusta, North Jefferson, Rocheport, and Sedalia. State oper-

ated Support and Gear (SAG) stations will be available along the route. “Participants

in Hike＊Bike will experience a community vibe while supporting this great cause,”

say event co-chairs Constance Hawley and Brenda Christensen. “There will be guest

speakers, music, and much cheer as we serve our military, veterans, and their fami-

lies.”

For more info about registration contact Constance Hawley at 636-536-2622.
