Since July 11, 2012, six people have remained alive thanks to the generosity of Spc. Christina Joy Leone, who was an organ donor when she died as the result of an accident that day in Richmond, Virginia.

Leone, then 21, was a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Georgia. Born in Lehighton and a graduate of Marion High School, Leone was much decorated and was posthumously promoted to the rank of specialist.About a year later her parents, Wayne and Cheryl Leone, New Ringgold, organized a motorcycle Ride with Pride in her memory as a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. It was held Sept. 21, 2013, and raised $5,575 for the cause.A second Ride with Pride will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., headquartered at the West Penn Rod & Gun Club, 1047 Clamtown Road in Tamaqua. Registration, which is $10, will begin at 10 a.m. with the ride beginning at 11. The Poker Run starts and ends at the Gun Club, where there will be food, drinks, music by Justus, and a raffle throughout the day.Leone's niece, Amy O'Brien of Mahoning Valley will contribute with a fundraiser held at her yoga class at 6:15 p.m. Sept. 8. There is no set fee, but a donation is appreciated and 10 percent will go the Tamaqua Area Art Center, where the yoga classes are held, and 90 percent to Wounded Warrior."I did a fundraiser during August at the yoga class and it went very well," O'Brien said. "The Wounded Warrior group really does some great things for people."
