Richard lost his son Emilio to cancer in 2000 and started a program called "Ride With Emilio" to provide transportation for low-income families and their children battling cancer. No child should miss their cancer treatment due to lack of transportation. This man is making it possible for low-income kids have another chance because without the transportation they will not be able to get treatment.Today, Nares' group provides more than 2,500 rides a year, traveling more than 70,000 miles.
