The 2nd Chance Trail Ride Society, a non-profit organization founded in 2012 by five individuals who received the gift of a double lung transplant, is set to host its 13th annual Trail Ride and Dinner on May 11. The event promises a day filled with camaraderie, adventure, and a chance to support a worthy cause.

The registration is at 9 a.m. at the Lindbergh Staging Area, and the ride begins at 12 p.m. leading participants through picturesque trails before culminating at the Elk Point Staging Area where a lunch will take place at 2 p.m. Following the exhilarating ride, attendees are invited to gather for a hearty dinner at the Allied Arts & Leisure Centre, with doors opening at 5 p.m.

Adding to the evening’s allure is the presence of Hugh McLennan, a multifaceted talent renowned as a poet, singer, and captivating speaker. McLennan’s voice, familiar to listeners of the acclaimed ‘Spirit of the West’ radio program, resonates with audiences worldwide. His performances, laced with cowboy songs and poetry, promise an unforgettable experience.

Beyond the festivities, the 2nd Chance Trail Ride Society remains steadfast in its mission to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation. Moreover, the organization is dedicated to fostering a supportive community for transplant recipients and their families throughout their journey.
