The money raised through Tour de Park will be utilized to cover the cost of a Washington County non-profit program called Project Lifesaver (PLS). PLS is one of many programs Linn Hendershot and MIHI, Inc. have brought to Washington County. (If you'd like to raise funds in support of this event, just click on the Become A Fundraiser link at the top of this page and you'll be on the way to creating your very own Web site to collect donations!)

PLS provides rapid response to missing persons who suffer from autism, Alzheimer’s, Down syndrome and other brain related disorders. Those at risk wear a tamper proof transmitter that emits a silent radio signal. By forming partnerships with local law enforcement and public safety organizations MIHI, Inc has trained and equipped these agencies with state-of-the-art tracking equipment. Deploying this equipment has reduced search times from hours and days to only minutes! In December 2007 Project Lifesaver of Washington County began their pilot program with 6 participants.

As a participant in Tour de Park, you will be joining others who are dedicated to bringing loved ones home safely.
