Join Barry Falcon for His 50^th Ride in Amelia Island! This year, the Georgia Chapter’s very own Barry Falcon will be completing his 50^th Ride event in Amelia Island, FL in October. After Barry’s son, Michael, was diagnosed with type one diabetes on Father’s Day 2002, Barry made it his mission to find a cure. After participating in the Walk, Barry completed his first JDRF Ride event in Monterrey, CA in 2004. After that first Ride, he was hooked and set a goal to participate in 50 Ride events by the time he turned 70. Barry will beat his initial goal this year by completing Ride #50 by age 68!

Since his involvement, Barry has raised $450,000 for JDRF and, through his relentless passion and energy, has helped the Georgia Ride program grow to be the #3 top fundraising program for our chapter with 73 riders raising over $370,000 in 2019.
