NetWitness(R) Hosts Third Annual ‘Ride for the Kids’ Charity Event

On Saturday, September 12th, NetWitness Corporation will host its 3rd annual ‘Ride for the Kids’ charity fundraiser in Northern Virginia. The Ride for the Kids is a motorcycle ride led by executives from NetWitness.

This year, all donations will benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia (DSANV). The mission of the DSANV is to ensure that all individuals with Down syndrome and their families receive the support necessary to participate in, contribute to and achieve fulfillment of life in their community. Over the past two years, the NetWitness Ride for the Kids events have raised nearly $50,000 to benefit children with Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS), a rare neurological disorder, and Fragile X, a family of genetic conditions which can affect individuals and families in various ways.

To help meet and exceed last year’s donations, NetWitness is encouraging the community to participate in the September 12th event. Whether you are a motorcycle rider and wish to participate in the 120 mile / 3 hour scenic country ride, just want to attend the BBQ with your family, or both, please come out and support the event!

Life Saving Crew Holds Memorial Ride for Fallen Member

GLADE SPRING, Va. – Billie Jo Fogleman wanted a motorcycle for her 40th birthday.

So her husband, Jim, got her a shiny black Harley Davidson Sportster. Just weeks later on July 11, her first big ride with her husband and five friends, she was killed in an accident two hours away in North Carolina.

The Foglemans are longtime members of Washington County’s Life Saving Crew, and her death weighed heavily on the area’s close-knit rescue teams.

“It’s a brotherhood,” said friend Jerry “Pokey” Poston of volunteer rescue workers throughout the region, “We’re a family outside a family. And it’s been hell.”

Dozens of Southwest Virginia’s rescue volunteers, many of whom share Fogleman’s motorcycle hobby, gathered at the Glade Spring Volunteer Life Saving Crew station Sunday afternoon for a memorial ride and fundraiser.

The ride was originally planned as a 100-mile circle, but was cut short because of rain.
