Ride For Kids Houston Event

Humble Civic Center

Wow!  What a great event. So glad to be a part of this worthy endeavor. We were at the Humble Civic Center to help with the setup and putting on the Annual Ride for Kids fund raiser for Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. We had nearly 500 motorcycles participate this year and raised a lot of money for Brain Tumor research. Our GWRRA chapter, Region H, Texas District chapter N2 from Humble was 5th in fund raising with the top honors going to our friends in Chapter C from Baytown and second place going to our friends from Cypress in Chapter X2. Together, everyone who participated in the Houston area raised over $300,000 for this worthy charity. If someone asks you to get involved, I can whole heartedly recommend this organization.

The real stars of this show though are the kids. These kids deserve all of our support. They are truly Valiant Warriors with courage hard for most of us to imagine. It is the hope of all who participate in this event to see the cure for this deadly disease discovered and the disease eradicated from the face of the earth the way polio has become a thing of the past. The event will touch your heart if you ever participate and you will never look at life the same.

Hope to see you there next year on the last Sunday in April when the next Ride for Kids happens in Houston.
