June 2010
The Pink Ribbon Riders receives on a daily average since December of 2009, two (2) patients per day applying for the Pink Ribbon Riders financial assistance program. That means if everyone that apply's follows through and we gave out to each person we would give out $365,000 dollars this year! Only one problem, Pink Ribbon Riders was so proud last year to raised $300,000, but that would not be enough for this year.. so we need your help to spread the word about what the Pink Ribbon Riders does and hopefully more people will thank about making a donation to the cause!

My name is Jamie Shimon, I grew up on a Dairy Farm and I've been snowmobiling since I could walk. I always dreamed of having a pink snowmobile and now working in the Medical field and being inspired by my patients, my pink sled means more to me then ever. My husband and I have two kids, they also love snowmobiling! I found out about the pink ribbon riders online thought it is a great way to raise money for a great cause.   Thanks so much taking the time to read my story and look at my pics,   Jamie Shimon

Emma Ecklund of Pennsylvania, a recent Pink Ribbon Riders Assistance Program recipient. Her note to us:

Dear Pink Ribbon Riders,

I would like to thank you for helping me in my time of need. You have no idea the perfect timing it was to receive my surprise gift in the mail on Tuesday. My car is in the garage and I was worried about paying for the repairs. You have lightened a burden of worry and stress that I did not need. I love you and I know you will be blessed 10 times over for the wonderful things you do.  Words are not even enough to express my gratitude. In the future, when my life returns to normal I will always try to support your organization. Thank you from the bottom of my hear.  - Emma Ecklund, PA To read more notes from survivors, click here.

3/29/09- Pink Ribbon Riders Assistance Program collaborated with the Jackson Hole area to help father and daughter that are both diagnosed with breast cancer this past weekend.

This past weekend at the Jackson Hole Hill climb in Jackson, Wyoming the Pink Ribbon Riders gave assistance to father and daughter that are both battling breast cancer. Locals Dick and Leith Barker were awarded with a $500.00 gift card each during the Saturday Hill Climb event.

Mr. Barker shared that his mom had also been diagnosed with breast cancer years prior to her passing. A moving public speech from Mr. Barker told the crowd of thousands at the event how true and scary as a male that they too can get breast cancer.

The same evening the Pink Ribbon Riders awarded assistance to Judy Koreski from Washington who is a second time recipient of the assistance from Pink Ribbon Riders. Her nephew who competed in the Hill climb event was there to accept for her at the Freestyle show and the gift was presented by Sam Rogers, Freestyle Rider and PRR representative.

While in Jackson Hole the Pink Ribbon Riders made a donation to the St. John's Hospital and Foundation for $3,000 to start a phone card and gas card fund for breast cancer patients that are treated at the hospital. Pink Ribbon Riders recognizes the need of patients that live in rural areas of Wyoming that struggle with the financial need for gas money and the struggle of living to far away to be able to attend support groups. We hope that working with the hospital that we can make it just a little bit easier for the breast cancer patients there to keep fighting their battle.

While in Wyoming for the 2nd Annual Wyoming Snow Run and the Jackson Hole Hill Climb event the Pink Ribbon Riders donated more than $5,000 back to the community and surrounding states through the Pink Ribbon Riders Assistance Program. We want to thank all of the volunteers and those that helped while we were out west to make the past two weeks and incredible time of people helping people.
