ONWARD For Life!

ONWARD! A living Tribute to Roy Walters

Roy Walters was a dedicated volunteer, activist, and advocate for history, trails and cycling in Volusia County.  People know Roy and his wife Sandy as the driving force for restoring the Enterprise Museum and saving Thornby Park from developers. Sandy and Roy have been active cyclists and advocates for many years.  When Roy spotted a cyclist who was struggling, he would often shout “Onward!” and other words of encouragement. 

After Roy’s sudden death in 2023, Sandy began thinking of a fitting tribute to Roy. She didn’t want another plaque or fixture – there are plenty of those commemorating his preservation work. 

Instead, Sandy wants a living tribute for his contributions to trails and cycling, encouraging people to overcome barriers like lack of confidence, motivation, appropriate gear, or knowledge to get back on a bike.
