Saint Jude Bike-a-Thon
Dating back to my Freshman year of high school, I was involved with a bike-a-thon to fulfill community service hours for my Confirmation at Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Verona, NJ. I never thought that this would turn into having an active role in the events planning and functioning today.
Just Prior to entering college my mother, Lori Ruzich, took over as our Parish leader for hosting this event for the soon to be Confirmation Candidates. Ever since this day I have been involved in planning the event and making sure that all of the money is accounted for once the event is over, which goes directly to the Saint Jude Research Hospital. I am also at the event whenever possible to help the children throughout a wonderful, and inspirational day.
