2008 Michigan
Snow Run participants ride in honor and in memory of
those we love!
The Michigan event
started with an evening of fun on Saturday night February
16th at the The Eagles Lodge. Appetizers were hosted
by Bob Evan's of Gaylord.
The participants had no idea
what was in store for them the next morning, as they awoke
to the icy weather conditions that were to come. No matter
what mother nature throws at us, Pink Ribbon Riders participants
ride for a cause.
A breakfast was added to the event
that was not planned, and we thank the Eagles Lodge and
their staff for accommodating our event delay as they
kept us dry and our stomachs filled until we were able
to hit the trails.
30- 40 miles were rode for those we
honor and cherish who have fought the battle with
breast cancer. A total of 138 riders completed the day
and a total of 150 attended the event.
All in all, looking
like glazed donuts, the participants were troopers
and with added festivities such as musical chairs and
the nascar race, it was a lot of fun!
Live music was
supplied by the Music House of Gaylord. Thank you guys
and gals for donating your time!
A wonderful surprise
was the top fundraiser was a 13 year old young lady names
Lauren Williard. Lauren raised $2,550! She went home
with the top fundraiser award from Camoplast tracks,
and many other prizes from the prize program such as
a complete outfit from KLIM USA, $150 gift certificate
from CHOKO clothing, a FLY Racing helmet and a gift certificate
from WOODYS for a complete Stud package worth $300 +,
which will go excellent with her new track from Camoplast!
The event raised $22,000 and still counting!
Special guests were two breast cancer patients that spoke
to the crowd on Sunday evening. Both ladies are receiving
the Pink Ribbon Riders Breast Cancer fund assistance
program.
Watch back for more details and photos to
be posted shortly. Way to go Michigan! |
