Motorcyclists ride for cancer research
As I got up to run to the mall Sunday, Sept 21st, I noticed
a lot of motorcyclists in the parking lot of the Danbury Fair Mall and wondered what was going on.
Now reading about it Monday morning, I realized it was for the "Sixth Annual Kick It Motorcycle Ride for Cancer Research" of the American Cancer Society's Connecticut Chapter.
The ride was comprised of about 1,000 riders heading toward Route 7 for the first leg of a 60 mile journey. During the six years they have raised about $100,000. According to the article, nearly every rider/passenger/volunteer was dedicating this to someone whom they knew with cancer. As an avid motorcycle rider myself, riding is great but riding for a cause is even greater.
