The "Ride to End ALZ" is a 255-mile, 400-person group bike ride across South Carolina which raised more than $850,000 in 2022 in a push to end Alzheimer’s. Kevin O'Neill, an avid cyclist and team member of 15 years, has been involved in the "Ride to End ALZ" since 2014. In 2022, Kevin was joined by his son, Brent, to cycle across the state supporting the organization.Together they raised almost $10,000. “This is the best supported ride I’ve been a part of,” says Kevin. “The meals, people, and, importantly, rest stops are all top notch.” The cause hits close to home for Kevin, whose parents were both impacted by Alzheimer’s. He has two goals moving forward - to help the "Ride to End ALZ" raise $1,000,000 next year and to ride in Colorado's sister event, a day- long, 100-mile trek – a century ride. The Beach Company and its team members look forward to continuing to support Kevin in his endeavors. Keep riding, Kevin!
