Welcome to the Sixth Annual
Miles for the Missing Family
Bike Ride and Walk
Sunday, September 13, 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
This casual ride/walk, which is for all ages, will be held at shelter #2 at Zorinsky Lake Park, located at 156th and F St in Omaha, NE.
The ride/walk is scheduled for 9:30am on Sunday, September 13th. Trail coverage with first aid and water will be offered until 2:00 PM.
The Miles for the Missing Family Walk & Bike Ride is one of Project Jason's annual fundraisers. It's also a chance to do something fun and healthy together with your family.
As it is a casual ride/walk, you may go any distance you wish, on foot or on your bike, whether it is one mile or seven. The trail is paved and SAG and free water will be provided. Heartland React will be available to provide first aid along the entire designated route for the safety of all riders/walkers.
Families of missing loved ones will be located at the ride/walk to share their stories and information about safety, prevention, and what you can do to help. Project Jason Board Members and volunteers will also staff the route and assist with check in at the shelter #2, located on the northeast side of Lake Zorinsky on the North 156th & Street entrance. (See the red star on the map below for the location. Download the shelter map.
Personal ID Kits and other free materials will be available. Attendees will be welcomed by “I.D. Kitty,” a large, warm and fuzzy, 6-foot-tall live action figure designed to bring enjoyment to children and families. Children will be delighted by him, and parents will appreciate how Project Jason is taking the “fear factor” out of obtaining and creating I.D. Kits. I.D. Kits should be part of every household, and for every family member. Families are welcome to take photos of their children united with ID Kitty in advocating family safety!
I.D. Kitty and representatives of Heartland React will be in charge of safety for the event.
The ride/walk cost is $20.00 per person. Children age ten and under are free. Pre-registration is encouraged and preferred.
Riders/walkers who pre-register by September 3, 2009 will receive a free Miles for the Missing VI t-shirt at check-in.
Riders/walkers of all ages must have a completed and signed registration form before entering the trail. Children under age 10 riding/walking with a parent or guardian may walk/ride free, but will still need a waiver form signed by their parent or guardian.
T-shirts for children age ten and under (optional) may be purchased for $7.50 each at the time of registration.

Your entry fee allows us to purchase visual aids for the families of the missing, such as posters, and photo buttons. Families of the missing are never charged for any of our services. Future funding will enable us to continue to add new awareness programs to aid in the location of missing persons. It will ensure we are able to obtain the tools and technology necessary to begin and maintain these programs. Funding, both private and corporate, is needed to be able to expand and continue our bus bench program.
