Bikers & Brain Tumors
by Fetch

Join Motorcyclists Oct 5, 2008 for "RIDE FOR KIDS" The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Research & Family Support Fundraiser at Grapevine Mills Mall, 3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy. Grapevine, TX Registration 8-9:45am, Ride 10am, Recognition Ceremonies & Refreshments. Every day 9 children are diagnosed with a brain tumor, 4 of whom will die within 5 years of diagnosis. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation donates 89% of the donation to research and family support, 5% for fundraising and 6% to administration. It is our goal to find the cause and cure; aide in early detection of tumors; develop new, less invasive therapies to extend the lives of these children and improve their quality of life; and provide family support. We hope to increase public awareness of the severity and prevalence of this disease thru education and events. For additional questions, please contact the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation at 1-800-253-6530 or email rideforkids@pbtfus.org. You may also visit our websites: www.pbtfus.org or www.rideforkids.org View a map Join hundreds of other motorcyclists for a scenic ride through the Texas countryside. You’ll have a great time while raising funds for the PBTF's medical research and family support programs! Riders on all makes and models are welcome. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 9:45. The police-escorted ride starts at 10 a.m. sharp, rain or shine! The ride will loop back to Grapevine Mills. After a light lunch, participants will enjoy a Celebration of Life program that features interviews with young brain tumor survivors—the Ride for Kids® "stars" of the day. Award presentations to top fundraisers and distribution of premiums will follow. The minimum donation to ride is $35, but the more money you raise, the more premiums you earn. For each $300 you raise, your name will be entered into a drawing for a brand-new Honda motorcycle! For more information, call 800-253-6530. If you're unable to attend, send your registration form and donations to PBTF, 302 Ridgefield Ct., Asheville, NC 28806.

After eliminating the old forums format, we have received many requests to reinstate the “Adult’s Only” section of the site. Since we are no longer using the old forums, we decided the next best option would be to set up a group for this purpose.

Access to this group is restricted to members over the age of 18. If you suspect that a member who is under the age of 18 has gained access to the group, please report it to the administrator immediately.

Enjoy the group :)
