Why This Matters
Finish The Ride & Finish The Run was founded by Damian Kevitt after a life‑changing hit‑and‑run. What began as one person’s effort to overcome tragedy has grown into a community movement advocating for safer streets in Southern California and beyond. By participating, you are helping raise awareness and support systemic changes—policies, education, infrastructure—that make roads safer for all through Streets Are For Everyone.
