Our education and outreach extends across the greater New York City Metropolitan Area. Events in our community include providing education, inspiring registrations, sharing stories about those touched by donation and more. Together, our volunteers unite to raise awareness about the power of organ donation. Take a look at some of the events around the area. Participation helps spread the message of donation and could one day directly help save more lives!
Pedaling for Life - One Heart's Journey Across America
March 22, 2026
Ken Abbott was a teacher and wrestling coach at Mepham HS and Grand Avenue MS from 1990-2020. In 2016 he received a heart transplant at Mount Sinai hospital.
In March 2026 he will be combining his passion for cycling and organ donation and embark on a cross-country cycling journey to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his transplant and to honor his donor hero — along with the countless individuals and families who have chosen to give the gift of life to support the LiveOnNY Foundation.
The ride will begin in San Diego, California and culminate in St. Augustine, Florida. The plan is to ride 75 miles per day and complete the trip in around seven weeks.
