The first annual 2nd Chance Trail ride was a huge success we raised $25,000 for the Canadian Transplant Games
Our second trail ride raised $55,000 that we donated to the Good Hearts Foundation. With this donation they were able to open a third apartment in Galen Lofts for recipients to live after their surgeries and during recovery.
