A few words from Frank Strack.....

I'm taking part in the 2007 Ride for Kids® - Cleveland, OH to raise money for Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and would really welcome your support.

For several years I have been an observer of the Ride for Kids during the Honda-Hoot Rally in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 2005 Ride for Kids® came to Cleveland Ohio and I have participated both years.  In 2006 my personal fund-raising goal was not only met it was exceeded - and I was fourth overall in donations.  I thank all who supported me last year and I hope some will continue their support this year.  

There are many children in our own Cleveland area who have been diagnosed. Many of these courageous kids have endured the pain of brain surgery, chemo, whole brain radiation, and gamma knife radiation. Some children have undergone the treatments more than a dozen times. Some of treatments are successful; still too many young children die still having a will to fight. Someday, with the help of researchers and groups like the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, this killer will be defeated!

While this may paint a hopeless picture, today there or more survivors! More children being children one day, one month or one year longer - with help, hopefully ALL children will be called survivors.

I am riding again this year for the kids, rain or shine. My personal goal is to raise $1,500 to help provide hope and emotional support for the thousands of children and families affected by this life threatening disease. Over 88% of the money raised actually goes to the programs for the families and research. Help me to get the word out about these kids. To raise public awareness about this horrible disease, that is the #1 killer of children by cancer. Join me, my fellow motorcyclists and all the volunteers across America as we do what we can for these courageous Kids.

Thank you.  God Bless you and keep you safe.
