Trips for Kids WNC Honor Fund
Tax deductible
On December 29th, 2017, while enjoying one of his greatest passions, mountain biking with his brother on Rice Pinnacle Wolf Branch Trail, Joey McClure passed away from a massive heart attack. Joey was the purest of souls who found his greatest joy in spending time with his family and caring for his parents. He was an avid hunter, mountain biker and radio-control operator of planes, helicopters, and cars. Joey was taken from this world way too soon, but the mark left on his loved ones will be felt for all eternity.
Please join our family in honoring and celebrating the life of Joey. We encourage you to bring any photos, memories, or stories that you would like to share. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Joey's honor to Trips for Kids WNC from now until February 23rd, 2018. For more information on the organization, please read below.
Trips for Kids WNC
Located in Asheville, NC, Trips for Kids WNC was founded on November 18, 2010. The goal of Trips for Kids WNC is to provide mountain bike outings and environmental education for kids who would not otherwise be exposed to such activities.
After spending several years in the child mental health field, and finding a lack of options for local youth to participate in cycling, the organization director, Stephen Janes, decided it was time to jump in and do something about it. After meeting with various local youth and cycling advocates, the plans developed with seeming ease. The chapter was approved and the program was rolled out to the public.
Trips for Kids WNC has provided bikes and outings to over 2000 kids since launching the program, and we look forward to offering our services to many more in the future.
