In 1993, Dusty Wood's life changed forever. His 12-year-old sister Sarah was kidnapped and murdered when he was
00:00:07
16. As years go by, Dusty remains determined to make a positive change in the face of a horrible tragedy. Every
00:00:14
day, I'm less angry because I devote my energy to positive things. Every year, Dusty and some family members
00:00:23
participate in the Ride for Missing Children, a 78 mile bike ride that was created in Sarah's honor by their dad,
00:00:30
Bob Wood. The riders wore jerseys that were turquoise and pink, the colors that Sarah wore when she was abducted. Riders
00:00:37
stop at schools along the way to bring awareness to abduction prevention. [Music]

[Applause] The most important thing for us as a family is to protect kids and make sure
00:00:48
that if there's anything that can be done to protect them from monsters like Lewis Lent, that it be done. Riders pay
00:00:57
silent tribute to those children whose families hold out hope that they will be found alive and to children who went
00:01:03
missing and are never coming home like Sarah and Wood. Dusty says he and his family are grateful to their community
00:01:10
who have supported them since the beginning. There will be never a way to repay the kindness of
00:01:19
strangers that opened up the possibility of giving the best chance to my sister.
00:01:28
He's not sure if they will ever find his sister's body, but he is at peace. I'm waiting for the day I see Sarah in
00:01:37
heaven. And I know that day is coming. And that makes me feel good. [Music]
