The Second Annual Riding For Those Who Can't...Yet will have an international flavor to it! The crew will be riding the coast of California, Oregon and Washington on the way to Vancouver, BC, Canada in July, 2008. Once in Canada, the crew will head to Kelowna, BC to stay with a couple who have myositis. After touring the Canadian countryside, in particular Banff, the band of four will head home to Riverside, California. The Riding For Those Who Can't...Yet will once again raise funds for The Myositis Association (TMA). Our goal this year is to raise over $15,000 in recognition of TMA's 15th Anniversary. An ambitious goal of this nature will take the help of both individuals and corporations. We are personally asking you to be a part of this tremendous fundraising event.
