Some very dear friends of mine are dealing with a devastating loss that some of you may have seen on the news. I am posting this up in hope that not only can we spread the word far and wide, but also to ask anyone and every one to help out in what ever form they can. Take part in the ride, donate something that can be auctioned or simply donate a coupel dollars to the reward fund. The ride info is below. Here are a few articles about the events leading up to this.
