Five Points of Life Ride

Five Points of Life is focused on raising national awareness of the need for donations of all five points of life and increasing donor participation. With the support of many of the national donor organizations and the financial support of corporate sponsors, LifeSouth organized the first cross-country Five Points of Life ride in 1997.

Subsequent rides in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006 have generated media coverage at most events along the route, playing a key role in raising awareness for the need. Events have also resulted in 4,376 additions to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. Information on both organ & tissue donations and cord blood banking has been widely distributed, and blood and apheresis donations are an integral part of daily events held across the country.

The 2008 Five Points of Life Ride covered over 2,000 miles in a 30 day period. It took a team of 12 riders through six southeastern states and events in over 30 cities
