A community effort is underway to support Dr. Scott Benefield, who was involved in a tragic accident last August when he was hit by a vehicle while cycling. To assist with the expenses resulting from the incident, a benefit bike ride has been organized for October 12.
Participants in the event will have the opportunity to purchase commemorative shirts, with proceeds going towards Dr. Benefield’s expenses. The bike ride will offer two route options: a 31-mile ride and a longer 62-mile ride, catering to cyclists of different skill levels.
For those interested in taking part or supporting the cause, detailed information can be found on the dedicated Facebook page titled “Backroads for Benefield.” This event not only aims to raise funds but also stands as a symbol of solidarity and community support for Dr. Benefield during his road to recovery.
