WWR Women Who Ride 4th Annual Conga Ride to     Arrive in Shell, Wyoming July 14 – 17, 2011

 Breast Cancer Research

The mission of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® is to achieve prevention and a cure

for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and
increasing public awareness about good breast health. Currently, over 90 cents of every dollar donated goes to breast cancer research and awareness programs.
 
I had the pleasure of working on this project with Debbie aka Boots who wrote the initial story, and Flo, who is the founder of the Conga Ride. You can purchase a copy of this book, CD, ebook, and an awesome calendar HERE
These items are truly a celebration of Women Who Ride 
Cancer Trembles When it Hears the Conga Coming! 
There is also a video available by Carrie. 
All proceeds go to this fundraiser. 
A.L.S.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) is a fatal  neurodegenerative disease. People living with the disease become progressively paralyzed due to degeneration of the upper and lower motor
neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Eighty per cent of people with ALS die within two to five years of diagnosis– unable to breathe or swallow. Ten per
cent of those affected may live for 10 years or longer.
 
I will be holding a books signing at this event.  

Progeria is an extremely rare condition that causes symptoms of premature aging at an early age. This is a genetic condition that is not hereditary in most cases, and  people with progeria usually live to their mid to late teens
Ride for Sight
is the longest running motorcycle charity fundraiser in Canada; the first ride
began in 1979 in Central Ontario. Each regional Ride has its own unique
features. Annual Ride for Sight weekend celebration events are supported in
part by generous corporate sponsorship and are organized by volunteer Ride for Sight Planning Teams.
 While Ride for Sight participants
are primarily comprised of motorcyclists -- volunteers, fundraisers and supporters also include non-motorcyclists and families affected by retinal diseases.
