WHY WE RIDE & WALK

Although only 17, Katie Caples touched more people than most do in a lifetime. A junior on the Bishop Kenny cross-country state championship team and National Honor Society student, she also found time to participate in Habijax, Paint the Town and Harbor House. Katie was humble and extremely generous. Her lasting act of generosity was the decision to become an organ donor. A decision that would limpact lives - literally.

Katie was driving home on April 18, 1998 from a March of Dimes walk when she was broadsided on the driver side of her SUV. The impact caused severe trauma to her brain and she remained in a coma for six days before she died. As an organ and tissue donor, Katie provided vital, life-saving, organs for six recipients (ages 6 to 62) and enhanced the lives of dozens more. Katie's legacy continues with the Katie Ride for Life.

Funds raised during the Katie Ride for Life support one of the most ambitious organ and donor education programs in the nation. The Katie Caples Foundation, through a partnership with LifeQuest Organ Recovery Services is reaching more than 17,700 high school freshmen and sophomores in Northeast Florida annually and introducing the impact of becoming an organ donor.
