Why do we do it?
Raise funds to help
Whatcom County cancer patients through the Laurendeau Foundation and the
Community Cancer Center at St. Joseph Hospital. This ride helped
the Ken Meyer Memorial Foundation raise $8000.00 in 2004, doubling our
contributions from 2003. Help us to continue to increase our
pledge in 2005.
