“Help Thy Neighbor JOCO” started out in 2018, as a group of friends that loved to ride together coming together for a good cause, to help a family near and dear to our hearts. No expectations, just a lot of love and hope. We loved it so much and it was so rewarding that we decided to an annual run and we adopted the name “Help Thy Neighbor”. It has only taken off from there. One run after the other, running into friends and other members of Johnston County in dire financial need due to no circumstances of their own, we decided to answer the call. One annual run turned into several runs a year, after another one of ours needed a helping hand. In 2020, we decided to add plate sales to our list and have had huge success in those as well. Each year we have continued to grow, and what started out as a small group of friends to help a lifelong friend, has turned into over 30+ (and growing) amazing people, a community of people wanting nothing only but to help others. We have now adopted the name “Help Thy Neighbor Johnston County” and have turned it into a non-profit organization. This has by far been the most rewarding ride of a lifetime. Every second dedicated to this cause has been more than worth it. Every single drop of blood, sweat, and tears put into this are forgotten once we see the look of gratefulness and tears in the eyes of those we have helped, along with their smiling faces. Our cause has humbled us, and we are always looking for people to join us to help us completing the mission of making our organization “larger than life” in the fundraising community and our community overall. Keep an eye out for us in 2021, it’s gonna be an amazing ride! And we want you riding with us!
