Fort Knox hosting motorcycle ride for sexual assault awareness Thursday
The U.S. Army Human Resources Command will host its tenth-annual SHARP “Raise the Bars” Motorcycle Ride on Thursday, April 24.
“This event was created to bring together all of those who are all fighting against sexual assault, seeking to eliminate it, and also as a way to raise awareness of this, and show and encourage survivors, to show that ‘hey, we see you, we hear you, we’re here for you,’” said HRC Sharp Victim’s Advocate D-SAACP Level III James Frye.
The ride will go from the Maude HRC Complex, located at 1600 Spearhead Division Avenue at Fort Knox, to Silverleaf Sexual Trauma Recovery Services in Elizabethtown. Major General Hope Rampy, the HRC’s commanding general, will deliver opening remarks at 1 p.m., with riders departing for Silverleaf at 1:30. Participants will then learn about ways to support survivors.
“Just being aware of some of the things that’s going to be different,” Frye said. “A person may look a little off than what they normally do, or may be extremely, extremely focused and meticulous. It’s just different things than, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ ‘Is there anything I can do?’, and more importantly it’s being willing to listen and to hear, and having the tools available of, ‘OK, who do I talk to?’ ‘What do I do to help this individual?’” Frye said.
The ride is open to Fort Knox soldiers, family members, civilian staff, and the general public.
“The greatest thing that any person can do is help another person, so for those who ride, who support, who are even just going to show up just to say ‘I’m here,’ we are grateful because that is the most powerful thing that you can do,” Frye said. “Be willing to listen. Be willing to have empathy and compassion for your fellow person. That is what this is mostly about.”
Pre-registration is requested, but day-of registration will be accepted until noon on Thursday. Visit the U.S. Army Human Resources Command Facebook page for event information, and the Fort Knox website for access pass information.
