MDA Ride 2009

Saturday was the 58th Annual MDA ride for a Cure out to Wendover. What a great cause this is. Raising money for Muscular Dystrophy. This cause touches my heart because I had a friend in High School who had muscular Dystrophy.
In the morning the Arrow gang met at Harley Davidson to kick off the ride. I was lucky enough to be part of it this year (thanks to Grammy for babysitting!). I was amazed at how many people turn up for this event.
For all you who think "bikers" are rough mean dudes...take a look at the photo below. Those are all Harley Riding folks, and that is a shot only looking south. The street looking North was even more packed. State street was liked with bike after bike after bike heading in both directions.

Once we all got out to Wendover came the auction. That is a fun event. There were many things up for Auction to raise money.

The Arrow staff on stage, making announcements....and having a little fun! Even Mark Koelbel from Channel 2 turned up for the event!


Here are some of the families that are helped from all the donations and money raised.


This is Luke, the Youth Spokesperson. He was the funniest kid. Cracking jokes on stage and he even told Gary he had a face for Radio!
The trip was a success and we had a lot of fun. The weather could have been a little nicer, but it was a great trip for a great cause. Can't wait to do it again next year.

Awesome. Glad you got to go! Now we can see where Kallie gets all her stage charisma from!
