Yesterday was our third annual Ride for A Berger. Ride for A Berger is an event that we've put on every year since my friend Amanda Berger passed away suddenly in 2012. The past two years, we participated in Ride for Heart and hosted a BBQ for the post ride celebration. This year we switched things up and did a spinathon followed by a fun BBQ. This year worked out especially well because all of the proceeds went towards Amanda's scholarship. The food was kindly donated which helped a lot and we had a raffle this year too! This event is a small way we try to honour Amanda's memory. She was a person who accomplished so much in such a short time and really set an example for her all who loved her. After she passed away, her family setup a scholarship in her name and this event raises money for it. It's also an opportunity for my friends and I to spend some time with Amanda's family celebrating her.
