Deltoid's Team, it's time to ride again.

As many of you know we lost a great friend and brother a little over 2 years ago to brain cancer. Mike "Deltoid" Bland was one of a kind and we miss him terribly. Last year I decided to make one particular ride a dedication to Mike. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's "Ride For Kids" is a fund raiser that gives all it's money to research for a cure for Pediatric brain cancer. I can't think of a better way to honor my friend than to make sure his bike is on that ride and to raise as mush money as possible in his name. Last year we raised a little over $1000. I hope to double that this year.

 

This year the ride will be returning to the North side of town. On June 6th the ride will start at the North Point Mall and end in Dahlonega at Lumpkin HS. It would be awesome if we could get a number of riders there this year to ride in Mike's name. I have set up a fund raising site for "Deltoid's Team" at: http://www.firstgiving.com/deltoidsteam

 

Please visit and donate if you feel lead but please don't feel obligated. Mike would never want that. Follow your heart, Mike always did.

Thanks everyone and I hope I see many of you there this year.

Chip,

Good of you to keep your brothers name alive, a good cause too by the sounds of it. I wish you the best of luck in your fundraising

Got it on the calendar Chip. Keeping my fingers crossed for great weather for everyone. (Would love to see the Ventures outnumber the Holly's!)

We are just a week away. I really hope some of you from the Atlanta area can make the ride. If not, any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
