Updated On: Jan 25, 2009

IAFF Motorcycle Group Ready to Roll for MDA

IAFF Motorcycle Group (IAFF-MG) members nationwide continue to are gear up for rides across the country to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. IAFF-MG members are loyal and committed participants in Harley-Davidson-sponsored MDA rides, including the annual Ride for Life, which draws some 2,000 riders to Pennsylvania. The May 2008 Ride for Life raised more than $1 million for MDA.

On the West Coast, IAFF members support MDA’s annual Sierra Hope Ride each June. The event attracts more than 2,500 motorcycle riders and other enthusiasts.

Preparations are currently underway for several motorcycle events benefiting MDA for the 2009 Riding Season. Riders raise funds primarily by soliciting pledges from friends and local businesses. For example, one minute of MDA research generates a pledge of $85. One week at MDA summer camp for a child with neuromuscular disease is worth $650.

MDA rides offer members of the IAFF-MG an ideal venue for fulfilling the IAFF-MG’s two event ride minimum. In addition, the MDA events feature pre-ride festivities and post-event parties that promote fraternalism and community goodwill, and offer a way to make a difference in the lives of those affected by neuromuscular diseases.

Hello Brothers and sisters, it's time once again to plan for the 7th District ride June 14th through 16th. We're trying to recreate the ride a few years ago from Lewiston to Joseph, Oregon. Due to hotel circumstances in Lewiston we are not able to stay there, so we're going to start in Oregon and ride north over the rattlesnake highway.
