Tying the State Together
August 17, 2020
Our board members are more committed than ever to increasing services and spreading awareness across Nebraska. They are proving their commitment by taking the Walk the State Challenge literally and are cycling across Nebraska!
Ted Wuebben and Ryan Cary from our board will be riding, camping, and spreading awareness across the state for the Tying the State Together journey. Ted will start in Omaha, Ryan will start in Scottsbluff, and they will ride to meet each other in the middle at Valentine, NE!
They will be camping in towns and spreading Parkinson’s awareness to communities along their path. Will they be stopping near you? Check out their route map below:
Ted will begin in Omaha on September 5th, make his way up to Norfolk, and follow the Cowboy Trail 192 miles west to Valentine, NE.
“I am riding for all the people counting on us to continue providing services and develop ones in the future. I am riding for my family who have helped so much on this program over the last 12 and a half years, and for Helen, Monnie, and Colleen who started this journey and whose courage and determination is inspiring… Our tag line is a journey shared we want people to know they are NOT alone living with this disease.” – Ted Wuebben
Ryan will be driving out to start his journey in Scottsbluff on September 11th. He will be heading to 138 miles through Hays Spring and Cody to meet Ted in Valentine.
The Tying the State Together journey will kick off on Saturday, September 5th with a commencement ride led by Honorary Rider Dr. Howard Gendelman from UNMC. The riders, along with friends and family, will be taking off from the Parkinson’s Nebraska office on 168th and Blondo in Omaha. Watch the commencement kick-off live on our Facebook page on Saturday, September 5th at 9:30 am.
