Ride For Mom - Saturday May 12, 2012

 

"Mom" is anyone you know who is close to you who is or has been sick. In my case it is my mom. "Ride for" means becoming better informed about and making better lifestyle choices-getting fit and eating healthier.

On the day before Mother’s Day, have fun cycling with your family while raising awareness about living better. The inaugural Ride for Mom™ will take place Saturday, May 12, 2012. This family event will be staged at Johansen High School located at Johansen High School, 641 Norseman Drive, Modesto, CA.

It will include 10, 30 and 72 mile bicycle rides, rest stops and support, a healthy lunch, and a lifestyle fair. Our goal is to have fun participating in a healthy activity while raising awareness on how to prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Funds raised will be distributed locally to organizations that promote this awareness.

While this inaugural event will be presented by the Rotary Club of Sunrise Modesto and its foundation, Ride for Mom is community based. To register, volunteer, or obtain more information, email info@rideformom.com. Registration is online through Active.com.

See you on your bike on May 12, 2012!
