2012 Arthritis Ride for Research




“2012 Ride For Research”

Saturday September 08, 2012

(This page will be updated when changes are available. Directions to our Ride starting point as well as the Poker Ride Route itself will be available here soon)

In one way or another, everyone has been touched by this debilitating and painful disease. You may be living with one or more of the over 100 different types of Arthritis; you may be the parent of a child who has been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis; or your best friend may struggle with daily restrictions caused by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Whatever your connection, we all want the same thing – a cure.

On Saturday September 08, 2012, motorcycle enthusiasts from London and surrounding communities will come together to raise funds for this very important cause. The London Chapter ( 028 ) of the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers will be hosting the 1st annual “Ride For Research” motorcycle Poker Run. This event is your chance to fight back against a disease that affects your life and the lives of millions of Canadians every day.
