Ride Through The Rockies Cycles Up To A Major Milestone

RIDE THROUGH THE ROCKIES WILL CELEBRATE ITS TENTH ANNUAL RIDE THIS YEAR

Chris Allinotte, WRLA

Ken Crockett, Vice President, Star Building Materials, a Qualico Company, founded Ride Through The Rockies in support of Habitat for Humanity in 2014. He mentioned that the inspiration came from participating in the “Ride Around the Lake” in Manitoba the previous year. “I was so inspired when I got back from that ride. The comradery was something I hadn’t felt since I was playing junior hockey back when I was 17.”

Fundraising for Habitat for Humanity was a natural fit for Ken with a career spent in the home development, Lumber and Building Materials Industry. Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build affordable homes to help give families strength, stability, and independence. For Ken, there was a personal connection to the cause, too, as he recalled his childhood with his family receiving assistance. “Getting the opportunity to listen to Habitat for Humanity’s stories and knowing that Ride Through The Rockies is helping change parents’ and children’s lives really inspires me and so many of the riders to lend a helping hand to these families. This concept hits home for me on how important it is to lend this helping hand as I saw how much my parents appreciated it when they were going through tough times.”
