The second annual “Ride for Cody” fundraiser will take place starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 23 at Stoney’s Bar in Rockville.
Registration will begin at 10 a.m. with kickstands down by 11:30 a.m. The cost is $10 per rider. All proceeds will go to the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
Cody James Nuckolls was the 5-year-old St. Joseph boy who died after being struck by a hit-and-run vehicle April 13, 2015 near his St. Joseph home while waiting for another child to get off of a school bus. He was the son of William “Ryan” Nuckolls and Lorraine Hipp, both of St. Joseph.
The first “Ride for Cody” took place last year. Family and friends decided to make it an annual event in memory of Cody and to help other children in need, such as those suffering from diseases.
Bikes and cars are both welcome to participate in the “Ride for Cody.” The first stop on the ride will be Trappers in Farming; the second is Shady’s in New Munich, the third at Trobec’s in St. Stephen and then a return to Stoney’s Bar.
Many on the “Ride for Cody” will wear red, as they did last year, because Cody was such a big fan of Spiderman.
