Spokes Men for Bleeders is a grass roots awareness and fundraising effort started by West Virginia parents, Steve & Lisa Nick. Steve & Lisa have two sons with severe hemophilia. Years ago, Steve decided to begin a one-day, one-hundred-mile bike ride to bring awareness to West Virginians who live each day with bleeding disorders. All proceeds from his ride benefit WVNBDF. In turn, Steve & Lisa partner with WVNBDF and sponsors to throw a finish line party for the riders and community members. This year Spokesmen turns 10!!! Join us for a fantastic celebration!
