ABC’s Jenkins Brothers Riding for Research

AUSTIN, Texas — Eleven years ago, Bobby Jenkins, owner of ABC Home & Commercial Services Austin, lost his first grandchild, Moss, at 15 months old to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).

This devastating loss for the family led to the establishment of the Moss Pieratt Foundation in honor of Moss to raise awareness, find more answers to the causes of unexpected deaths in children and to prevent other families from experiencing such loss, said Jenkins, who also serves as board chair of the SUDC Foundation.

This year, Bobby and his brother, Raleigh, will be riding their bicycles from Anchorage, Ala., to College Station, Texas, to help fund research at NYU Langone Health for SUDC. The brothers will depart from Anchorage on June 19 and will arrive back home in Texas on Sept. 6.

Raleigh will be using this trip to raise funds for Mission Lazarus, which builds and funds schools and orphanages in Haiti.

Joining the two are retired ABC leaders Brian Kelly and Mark Ambrose, who will drive the support vehicle and ride along with Bobby and Raleigh.
