Ride for kids




We went to the Ride for Kids, fundraiser for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation recently, we had lots of fun, all the kids got to ride on motorcycles all the way up the canyon. They loved it. Utah had a record amount of donations. we have only been doing Ride for Kids in Utah for a 4 years in Utah and we out fund raised places where they have been running much longer. http://pbtfus.org/rideforkids/calendar/2008/utah08.html
Our family had enough donations for the drawing for the motorcycle, but of course we did not win.
They fed us very good lunch, after lunch they interviewed the brain tumor patients on the stage. Little Jimmy was the youngest Brain tumor patient there, but he spoke as if he were much older. Among other things he said "I am grateful that so many people cared about kids with brain tumors that they were willing to come out". It sounded like a speech that an adult had written for him. I guess he is a good public speaker.
My husband drove his motor scooter the entire way and kept up with all the bikers on their big Harley's just fine.
