elaine Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 This is off topic, but one of the moderators suggested it go here. Thanks for reading. Saturday August 28th Ride open 9am til 1pm Food, music and silent/oral auction to follow White Salmon City Park, White Salmon, WA 30 mile road bike ride benefitting Jack Toland http://friendsofjack.org Join me and other cyclists as we ride for Jack. The day before Thanksgiving 2009, Jack was severely injured while riding his bike near Oregon City. A severe crash that shattered his femur and elbow. With no job or insurance, Jack and his wife were facing mounting medical bills for surgery and post-op care. A local physical therapist is providing daily PT at no cost to Jack, which has alleviated a great deal of the financial burden. Our group, a newly formed non profit, is holding this first inaugural event to soften the blow that Jack and his wife have faced. Next year, our group plans to ride for other injured cyclists and their families who need help with medical bills, rent / mortgage payments, or other financial assistance because of a bad cycling accident and who are uninsured or under-insured. Lots of cool auction items and raffle prizes: Cannondale and Surly bikes, personal training with local KettleBell expert, massage therapy gift certificates, Eddy Merckx signed jersey, and much more. Free food and beverage by: Everybody's Brewing, Fred Meyer, Nake Juice, Chiquita and Izze Soda. Live music by Beadhead. Send me a PM if you have any questions!
