Highway to Hope Charity Motorcycle Run
The Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation
invites New England motorcyclists to get their motors running and head out on
the highway for the Highway to Hope Charity Motorcycle Run! Bikers from all
over the region will hit the road, starting and ending at Ocean State
Harley-Davidson in Exeter, on Saturday, August 17 at 1:30 p.m.
Events like ‘Highway to Hope’ are designed to raise
awareness in order to increase early detection, which is the key to decreasing
mortality. It’s not hard to raise awareness when an event has bikes as far as
the eye can see!
When we do large
bike runs like this, it’s empowering; the survivors all get to ride on the backs
of the bikes. The earth shakes, it’s crazy, it’s great.

Motorcycle Run’ will be donated to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource
Foundation.
