Ride for Refuge shines brightly
This year’s Ride for Refuge did not disappoint, especially for new moms and babies in Mozambique. After having our best fundraising year ever in 2020, we decided to set our sights high with a goal of $40,000. Not only did we meet that goal, we exceeded it, to make the 2021 Ride PWRDF’s best year ever.
