November is Eye Donation Month

UTR proudly joins in the effort to raise awareness about cornea donation and transplantation, to honor the gift of sight given by donors and their families. So far in 2025, donor heroes have allowed UTR to recover 24 corneas. We celebrate along with the recipients of these gifts, who will now be able to live their lives to the fullest.

Join us in spreading the word and helping to give the gift of sight! 💙💚

🚴‍♂️ FIVE TEXAS STOPS. ONE MISSION.

From Canyon to Fredericksburg, the Lone Star Circle of Life Bike Tour is more than a ride- it’s a moving tribute to Texans who gave, received, and are still waiting on the gift of life.

Every day this week, riders pedal 100+ miles in honor of real people. Organ donors like Heath Bennett. Recipients like Samantha Gonzalez. Families like the Rochas, still telling their son’s story so others can live.

Today, the wheels stop in ALBILENE—where the community gathers at McMurry University to hear stories that remind us what matters: legacy, love, and second chances.

From tearful hugs to new connections, every stop has been unforgettable. And we’re just getting started.

TOUR SCHEDULE
✅ Nov 2 – Canyon
✅ Nov 3 – Lubbock
🟡 Nov 5 – Abilene [TODAY!] 3:30 PM, McMurry University (“Backyard”)
➡️ Nov 6 – San Angelo 2:15 PM Lake View High School, 900 E. 43 rd St.
