"Laurie's Ride 5" -- August 10, 2008
"Laurie's Ride 5," scheduled for Sunday, August 10, 2008, is a motorcycle ride to raise money for the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition's Support Services Fund. When Laurie Thiboutot of Nashua was diagnosed with breast cancer, her friends organized this ride to help her through the diagnosis. Now, Laurie and a dedicated group of her friends, many from the Fire & Iron Firefighters Motorcycle Club of Nashua, spearhead the event.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of "Laurie's Ride" and the second year that proceeds will benefit the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition Support Services Fund. The event will start at Nashua Harley-Davidson, Amherst Street in Merrimack, New Hampshire and cruise the scenic back roads of New Hampshire to the Seacoast and back.
Registration is $35 per driver, and $25 per passenger and includes a catered meal, live bands and prizes. Event details, the registration form, ways you can help, and photographs from past events can all be found on the Web at "Laurie's Ride" or call Laurie at (603) 261-5377. Get your motors running!
