Niagara Hospice press release & photo
Niagara Hospice is looking forward to the 13th annual Hospice Gran Fondo bike ride, taking place Aug. 1. “Gran Fondo” originates in Italy, where long-distance bike rides are followed by large celebrations. The event starts and ends at the Niagara Hospice campus, located at 4675 Sunset Drive, Lockport.
The Hospice Gran Fondo offers riders the choice of a 15-, 33- or 62-mile route. Each one features a number of rest stops stocked with refreshments. Following the ride, participants return to the Niagara Hospice campus for the post-race celebration, featuring food, drinks and live music by MJ & the Way. Those who do not participate in the ride may purchase a separate ticket to attend the after-party.
Many individuals ride in memory of a loved one. Proceeds from the event support the specialized care and services provided by the nonprofit organization. Anyone interested in registering for the Hospice Gran Fondo can visit www.hospicegranfondo.com. Call 716-280-0766 for more information.
