This will be our 5th year of involvement in the Ride for Kids and raising money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Besides this page our Chapter within the Gold Wing Road Riders Association, the Wings of Wesley Chapel (FL1-L2) is also collecting money to support PBTF through a Drop Your Change effort.
We know with the state of the economy no one can predict the future and it is hard to think about making a donation. However we do know that pediactric brain tumors will not go away at this point but the continued research and care is required.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
