The
Third annual Ride Was Sept 24th
at Carl Cannon Chevrolet Jasper AL.
(map)
This year's ride was scheduled for May 14th but due to the tornado
outbreak we postponed to Sept, 24th.
God prepared a beautiful day with a high of 80 partly cloudy and a nice
breeze all day.
106 bikes and 140 registered riders made a lot of noise and raised
Jessica, and her family's spirits along with much needed funds.
 
Big Thanks to Eric "Butterbean" Esch
and Adam Hadder, stars of Investigation Discovery's Big Law: Deputy
Butterbean for coming out and showing their support.
Thanks to Carl Cannon Chevrolet!!
The second annual Ride Was May 15th 2010
Thank you to all vendors, donors, riders and
helpers!!!!!
We had over 130 bikes
ride the route, over 20 vendors, The AirVac Helicopter flew in and 3 bands
played live music all day. We even had a crocodile.
There were inflatables, face painting and a train for the kids
Just a little hot and muggy but over all a good day.
Why the 2010 Benefits were withheld
Sadly the beneficiary we had selected could not produce
proof of candidacy. We worked and worked with the parents incurring
much insult and injury. In a spirit of goodwill, we even rewrote
the Trust Fund agreement to accommodate the fact that the child was not on a
transplant list and may not need a transplant for years to come, but even at
that the parents did not keep the appointment at the bank to sign on the
trust account in spite of multiple communications back and forth on the
schedule. Many things that they did and said did not add up so we
withdrew the offer and held it for the next years candidate. This is
not the way we had hoped it would have worked out but God has a plan for
everything.
The First
Annual Ride was April 25th 2009
Wow!! The first annual ride was a success!.
40 bikes took the ride and $1138.10 was
raised for Bill Parker of Jasper Alabama.
(additional funds have been given by others)
Our first year benefactor Bill Parker recently had his double kidney and
liver transplant and is doing very well. Please pray for him and his
family Thanks again to all who gave, rode and prayed.
