A little about who we are.

The “Doc’s Deepwood Run” is a non-profit organization. All monies derived from our events go to improve the quality of life for individuals with mental retardation and/or developmental disabilities. 

Doc’s Deepwood Run started as a compassionate idea by a Vietnam Veteran known simply as “Doc.” In 1998 funding for the operation of the Deepwood Center had been drastically reduced because of a failed county levy. Doc saw the need and came up with the idea of raising funds through an organized motorcycle ride and raffle. These funds would go to help the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled clients of Deepwood. Since that date, “Doc’s Deepwood Run” has assisted thousands of these special individuals. Not only at the Deepwood Center but also through out the state of Ohio. With an added benefit of increasing the publics' awareness of their special needs. This simple beginning has evolved into a well-organized annual program operated by dedicated groups of volunteers. 

We are truly a family!

Finally, but certainly not least are the dedicated individuals working in the field of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities and the volunteers from the public sector. Many of the individuals in these groups working long hard hours to raise money for various charities near to their hearts to help those who are unable to help themselves.
