So cancer research and animals fo sure it seems. Ome more?

What are we doing with the Motorcyclists for Children thing?

What does that cover?

The Roll On Columbus event this year is support Nationwide Children's Hospital and their research department. Next year it could be the same charity, or it could be another children's charity.

I'm thinking one cancer charity and one animal charity. For the animal charity, I'm leaning towards CAHS. We'd be able to "adopt" an animal through them, paying for their food, medicine, etc while it stays at the shelter. As for cancer, I'm thinking Cancer Free Kids. What do you all think?

I think getting people to donate stuff to send over is a great idea. I'm all for it. Who do we contact about that?

Thanks Jas, thats what I thought it was but wasnt for sure. If they make an effort to come out to the bike nights, they deserve to get some love in return. DTC will be giving some love to them, need to talk to Fonz about it first

How bout a the Downs walk for people with down syndrome or cerebral palsy or the deaf. or any muti handicap organisation. With a multi handicapped son my self it seems like one agency wants the other one to help first.

Just throwing this out there, I have never been on a stop going to/from deployment, either overseas or states side, or getting ready to go on mission the USO hasn't been there to give out food, drinks, hygiene kits and the works. Having a group of them to welcome you home, to hug you and shake your hand and not even know you is...well, I have no words.

But puppies are cute too. :D And children need help too, not trying to sound like an a-hole and forget them.

You are right. I'm all for doing anything to help our veterans too. Soo many charities. Tough question.

I will say this: People>animals.

It should be no secret that I'm a big advocate of Flying Horse Farms. A charity that allows kids with illnesses the opportunity to just be a kid. Check out the 2010 Flying Horse Ride to Greensboro, NC. Police escort provided from Ohio to NC.

As far as pets are concerned, I like Harlequin Haven, a Great Dane rescue in Bethel, OH.

Hopefully I can make that ride this year.

Anybody know anything about this group?

Looks like we could have fun AND help out some kiddies at the same time. If we're going to choose between kids and animals I have to put my vote in for the kids. Animals are sweet' date=' but they're just animals. Children should ALWAYS come first.[/quote']

I hear you. But I like animals more than people.
