My name is Dustin Lowry(Swamp Fox), I reside in Ridgeville South Carolina. I have been happily married to my wife Stacey for 29 years. I have three children and two grandchildren. I have been riding since 2005. I am a member of the Charleston IMRG chapter 1988. I’m currently employed as a Production Manager with Quikrete Construction Materials.
I am drawn to the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge because, I think it is the ultimate old school motorcycle challenge. I started researching the challenge and discovered the awesome community that surrounds the challenge. I quickly learned the Hoka Hey Challenge is way more than a challenge. It is a community of awesome people that ride motorcycles and give of themselves to help others. Entering this challenge has forced me to focus on being the best I can be physically and mentally and spiritually.
I am fundraising for the Ark of South Carolina. The Ark is a not for profit that works to support care givers of people who suffer from Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The Ark cares for patients, allowing the care giver to have a break. The Ark also provides support for older adults that may not have a diagnosis but are concerned about developing conditions. They have support groups helping patients maintain good mental activities.
I chose the Ark for my charity because I have seen several family members forced to enter nursing facilities. If families can receive just a little relief, they may be able to avoid this tough decision. Placing a family member in a nursing facility is a hard decision, that has long-lasting effects on the family member and the family. All funds I raise will go directly to the Ark.
Looking forward to meeting everyone at the starting line in Woodstock!
Hoka Hey,
Dustin (Swamp Fox) Lowry #1247
