Please join the McKeesport Hospital Foundation, along with the Lions of District 14-B, on Saturday, September 24, 2016 for the Third Annual J. Terrence Farrell Memorial Bike Ride on the Mon Yough Bike Trail beginning at 8:30 a.m.
The bike ride will begin on the Youghiogheny River Bike Trail, under the Boston Bridge, with a 7.5-mile stop at the Dravo Cemetery in Buena Vista. For our experienced bikers, the ride will continue for 12.5 miles out and back to Smithon Beach for a total of 40 miles. All bikers will return at 12 noon to the Kenneth Frew Pavilion at Dravo Cemetery for lunch and a ceremony in honor of J. Terrence (Terry) Farrell.
As a long-time member of the McKeesport Lions and local attorney, each year Mr. Farrell’s “Bike for Sight” raised thousands of dollars for local charities. The funds from last year’s event were distributed locally to the McKeesport Regional History and Heritage Center, the Carnegie Library of McKeesport, the Mon Yough Trail, the Mon River Fleet Lions Club and Friends of the Riverfront. The McKeesport Hospital Foundation is honored to host this year’s bike ride where the proceeds will continue to help local organizations, in Mr. Farrell’s name.
