It began over 15 years ago...the March of Dimes has partnered with motorcyclists
nationwide providing an opportunity for motorcycle clubs, dealerships, vendors
and individual riders to join together for babies in communities from
coast-to-coast.
Last year, more than 45,000 riders and 250 motorcycle clubs joined together to
help prevent premature birth and birth defects. Participating groups included:
Riders of Kawasaki (R.O.K), Harley Owners Group (HOG), American Gold Wing
Association, ABATE, the Christian Motorcycle Association, the Iron Pigs, the Red
and Blue Knights and teams representing corporations like Sprint and UAW-Ford.
The March of Dimes wants you, and your motorcycle, on the road for babies who
need our help!
