I have gathered a few of the photos of the Ride For Kids event that was held on September 25 of this year. The generosity of our friends, family and colleagues allowed Frances and me to raise enough money to be the second highest fundraiser at the event. Bob Henig, the #1 fundraiser for the event, was my mentor and got me involved. But the real deal was that over 400 motorcyclists raised nearly $200,000 for the event. it was an amazing demonstration of generosity, and love. Remarkable.
But the celebration was really about the 6 survivors who came, were honored, and who spoke about their journeys and what their lives were like. They talked of being present, alive, having fun, being grateful, and being centered. Kids being kids...no victims on that stage, only survivors. So humbling that they were so grateful...so thankful. It reminded me of the need to always recongnize my life as filled with abundance, opporunitities, gifts...never to look at it as filled with challenges, road blocks, deficits...abundance only. 
Well, I did say it was about motorcycles, and the cool part were the side car rigs where most of the survivors rode, in front of the cavalcade of 400 plus riders through the countryside of Maryland. This little sweetheart has riden with Bob Henig for 5 years...and has been a survivor for each of those years. In the right photo, she is suited up and ready to with her riding buddy in Bob's Yellow side car. On the left, she is with her VERY happy Mom. So, I am very grateful, for the opportunity, for the abundance that I and over 90 others shared to help Frances and me bring nearly $20,000 to the party, to help create a longer list of survivors. Now for the encore...
More to follow for sure.
