The Ride 4 Life NY board has decided that this year will be "Thaddeus's year" for the Ride 4 Life NY.

They are hosting a motorcycle run benefit for Thaddeus on August 20 to help with expenses.

A trust has been established in his name to assist with the numerous expenses. Dad, Charles Harklerode, is a Sgt. with the NY State Police - Troop K.

Check out the Ride 4 Life NY's Facebook page for more info on the Motorcycle run and the trust account.
