Based in Redlands, the Unforgettables Foundation helps low-income and cash-strapped families whose children have died pay for proper burials. On Friday, August 20th, Dr. Randy Schell will set out on a 2,400-mile fundraising trek christened 'Dr. Randy's Unforgettable Ride 2.0,' to once again bring in donations for The Unforgettables, established in 1999-2000 by Schell's college friend and former chaplain Tim Evans. The Unforgettables has funded more than 7,500 cases since it began actively aiding families and parents in 2001.
Dr. Schell's route will parallel and crisscross the famed Pacific Crest Trail and will take him through Washington, Oregon, and California. He will pass through Southern California's San Bernardino Mountain range, cycling past Big Bear Lake and down into Yucaipa near Highland and Redlands, into the San Gorgonio Pass and up Mt. San Jacinto into Idyllwild and from there through the Anza-Borrego Desert to finally come to a stop at Tecate, California, on the border of Mexico.
The journey is expected to take approximately six weeks, concluding on October 2nd. A reception celebrating the bike ride fundraiser will be held at Avila's in Riverside on September 25th.
Tim Evans, founder of the Unforgettables, describes how to follow along with Dr. Randy's Unforgettable Ride 2.0 and how it will support the Unforgettables Foundation.
