Ride For Doug 2008

Image

Here is a group shot of the Ride For Doug 2008 riders.

35 bikes, one really good ride, and almost $8,000 raised for Muscular Dystrophy!

Thanks to all who rode with us, and to all those who supported us through logistics, food, and everything else.  I'm sure I'll never know everything that was done, but we sure appreciated it.

Check out the RFD 2008 section for photos and video of the ride! 

 
Why Ride For Doug?

Who will benefit?

ImageWe selected Muscular Dystrophy Canada as the benificiary for Ride For Doug.  This is because MDC works directly with the people who need it the most.  The people you are raising money for are the neuromuscular patients in the Greater Vancouver Area.   Doug's friends.  These are real people.  Real people with hopes and dreams.  Real people with real challenges.  Most of what is contributed directly benefits those who are suffering the most through education, quality of life assistence, and social interactions not otherwise possible.  Some money goes to research for a cure.  Let's make muscles move.

 
Doug's Family
Doug comes from a mixed family.  His dad is a Triumph rider, and his mom rides a Ninja.  He has one sister, Samantha, who isn't fussy which bike she rides, as long as someone takes her along!  DMD is a disorder that impacts more than just one person.  It changes our family priorities, routines, and lifestyle.  We all are deeply impacted by what is going on - and hopefully, it will ultimately pull us closer together.  Here are some photos of our family...
