Viva La Big Hearts & Horsepower …
We recently told you about a camp being started in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, for very sick kids. Flying Horse Camp will open in 2009. We also mentioned wanting to help build a swimming pool, and asked for your help to git ‘er done. Well a pair of riders have come forward in a big way. Bill Snodgrass and Ken Valverde, representing the Red Knights (firefighters) and Blue Knights (police), will make a charity run from Canada to Mexico to raise funds for the camp on June 7 & 8. They’re going to ride 1,620 miles in 36 hours. How about supporting them with a pledge donation per mile or a single contribution? Make checks payable to A.D.
