Paul's Ride for Life - June 6
Paul Rossmeissl was 54 when he died on June 7, 2006, from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident on the Washington and Old Dominion trail, a favorite biking route. As a result of this tragedy, Paul gave the gift of life to three individuals who received his liver and both of his kidneys. Many other individuals benefited from the donation of his heart valves, bone and tissue. This bicycle ride is dedicated to his memory and will benefit the Washington Regional Transplant Community. The ride will begin at Trailside Park in Ashburn, Virginia where a shelter in Paul's honor will soon be constructed.
