The Katie Caples Foundation was started in 1998 by the family of Katie Caples, a young high school student from Jacksonville who became an organ and tissue donor after not surviving the trauma of an automobile accident.
To learn more about the Foundation and how we raise funding and increase awareness about organ and tissue donation, please visit the About Us section.
The Katie Ride started as a cycling event in which novices to advanced riders participated to raise awareness of the need for all of us to make an organ donation commitment. The Katie Walk, which was added in 2009, is another opportunity for you to tell the story, raise funds and have a good time with friends.
The cycling event offers courses of varying distance from 15 to 100 miles with full support along the way. The Katie Walk offers a 5k and 10k walk through beautiful Fort Clinch State Park. Funds raised by participants of both events help underwrite LifeQuest's Decision:Donation education program that is presented to high school freshman and sophomores.
