Registration open for Rock's Ride and Run

Rock’s Ride & Run is an exciting event planned to start a new ministry for the Real Life Center called Rock’s HOPE. The event will be held on June 23 at 8 a.m. at Brooks Elementary and will include a 5K and Duathlon (5K-20 mile bike ride-5K). Rock’s HOPE will be a specific fund designed to assist individuals and families experiencing financial hardship associated with cancer expenses.

This fund will allow the Real Life Center the opportunity to provide hope to families in financial crisis, in and around our community. The Real Life Center exists to help those facing life’s unanticipated challenges by offering hope, guidance and encouragement.

Spearheading this event, Ted “Rock” Knapp, has walked this journey personally, and is currently battling two forms of terminal cancer. Rock’s personal goal is to provide HOPE and financial peace to those experiencing financial hardship.
