RIDE FOR A CURE
Join Mike Morris in a Motorcycle Ride to Benefit FSMA

Bloomington, Minn – Hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts will dust off their rides Saturday May 17th in Minnesota to benefit Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Grand marshal Mike Morris, who is morning show host on KFAN radio and a former Minnesota Viking will lead the pack of riders from its origination point at Toohey’s Bar & Grill in Savage, Minn.

“This is another great opportunity to help Families of SMA, I look forward to joining motorcyclists at the selected stops along the way. Minnesota has such a tremendous motorcycling population and some of the best riding roads”, said Mike Morris.

The Ride for A Cure event will begin at 10AM, followed by a scenic ride to selected stops through the rural Minneapolis / St. Paul areas including a rest at Indian motorcycle dealer, Fury Motors in South St. Paul. Participating riders in ‘Ride for A Cure’ will be asked to donate a minimum of $10 to benefit FSMA. The event will conclude at Toohey’s Bar & Grill where a live auction of motorcycle memorabilia and other prizes, along with live music and a BBQ will top off the days festivities.

The event is one of three fundraisers spearheaded by Mike Morris and KFAN to benefit Families of SMA. Families of SMA was founded in 1984 for the purpose of raising funds to promote research to find a cure for the Spinal Muscular Atrophies, and to support families affected by SMA. Since then, this volunteer-driven, non-profit organization has become the largest private funder of SMA research and the largest non-profit organization dedicated solely to finding a cure for SMA. FSMA has committed $3.5 million to SMA research in 2003 and over $10 million within the next 3 years. Other KFAN events that benefit FSMA are the Aim For A Cure Celebrity Clayshoot and the Superstar ‘ s Celebrity Golf Classic. For more info, visit www.fsma.org .
