PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR FOUNDATION

2010 Los Angeles Ride for KidsĀ® Torrance,  California

Richard Perlstein's Fundraising Page

 

Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is a charity for all the right reasons.  In 25 years they have taken this diagnosis from a 100% mortality rate down to 40%.  Our work is not done.  This is a can-do charity that is saving kids lives. Every day 9 children are diagnosed with a brain tumor.  Four of them will not make it. This is not acceptable. 

In May of 2009, shortly after our ride, I attended the funeral of a beautiful 10 year old child, Alexa,  and vowed that I would do all I could to see this never happens again.

These children are amazing and have so much to offer the world.  They deserve a chance, and the world needs more children of this caliber.

Last year, with your help, I reached my goal.  This year, with your help, I hope to reach this new goal. I am honored I had a chance to work with a remarkable man, Mike Traynor, the co-founder of the PBTF.  He was taken from us too soon, may he rest in peace.

I encourage you to join us, even if you don't ride, please come down on the day of the ride, and join us in the celebration of life.  I can thank you in person, as well as introduce you to some of our "Stars".

Please help.
