Beacon for Hope Hosts Gravel Grind for Hope Event in Lebo, Kansas
On Saturday, July 25, riders rolled out from Jones Park in Lebo, Kansas for Beacon for Hope Suicide Prevention's 2nd Annual Gravel Grind for Hope. Across the 14.5- and 28.5-mile routes, every rider carried their own reason for being there. Some rode in memory of someone they lost, some rode for their own journey, and some rode simply to stand behind the cause.
