Hello,
I'm taking part in the 2006 Ride for Kids® -
Cleveland, OH to raise money for Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and would really welcome your support.
For several years I have been an observer of the Ride for Kids during the Honda-Hoot Rally in
Knoxville, Tennessee . Last year Ride for Kids® came to
Cleveland Ohio and I was one of the motorcyclists who participated. While it was easy for me to enjoy the police escorted ride with 175 fellow motorcyclists - in the end it was about helping to find the cause and cure of pediatric brain tumors. The 1st annual Cleveland Ride for Kids® raised $27,207.
There are many children in our own
Cleveland area who have been diagnosed. Many of these courageous kids have endured the pain of brain surgery, chemo, whole brain radiation, and gamma knife radiation. Some children have undergone the treatments more than a dozen times. Some of treatments are successful; still too many young children die still having a will to fight. Someday, with the help of researchers and groups like the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, this killer will be defeated!
While this may paint a hopeless picture, today there or more survivors! More children being children one day, one month or one year longer - with help, hopefully ALL children will be called survivors.
I am riding again this year for the kids, rain or shine. My personal goal is to raise $1,000 to help provide hope and emotional support for the thousands of children and families affected by this life threatening disease. 91% of the money raised actually goes to the programs. Help me to get the word out about these kids. To raise public awareness about this horrible disease, that is the #1 killer of children by cancer. Join me, my fellow motorcyclists and all the volunteers across America as we do what we can for these courageous Kids.
