On June 20 the city of Lebanon Pa, was awaken by the roar of motorcycles as they started District’s 14-D 21th Annual “Ride for Sight” fund raiser. After enjoying a delicious breakfast and an inspiring church service, men, women, children and even a few dogs left the Hebron Fire Hall and traveled the hills and valleys of Lebanon County and proved again that their hearts are as big as their bikes! The ride ended at the Kauffman's Bar-B-Que Ranch in Bethel where all riders enjoyed a Chicken Bar-B-Que lunch and were entertained by a local country star “Lion” Dean-O. Twenty one years ago, PDG Walter Lesher saw that there was a need to find a way to raise funds to help the Blind and Visually Impaired in District 14-D and it was only natural to incorporate his love of motorcycles into this plan. Since its inception along with his partner in service Lion Sharon, PDG Lesher has raised over $180,000 which has been donated to SABVI (Susquehanna Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired) which has locations both in Lancaster and Lebanon counties and whose main mission is helping restore autonomy and independence to the lives of Lancaster and Lebanon county residents who are blind and vision impaired.
