Without diminishing the effort, sacrifice, and sheer determination that made Tim and Kellen’s ride a success, we feel we must also acknowledge the tragic events that took place this week in Uvalde, Texas. This must stop. It is in our power to hold our representatives to task and make meaningful gun reform changes at a Federal level. In the 33 years since the first school mass shooting took place in 1989, we have seen no meaningful legislative changes to protect our most important resource, our children. The time is now.
