2008 DFAC Check Presentation |
|
Three years later, over 21,000 miles ridden and just over $110,000.00 raised for Breast Cancer Research - - Divas For A Cure is still dedicated to the mission.
On Saturday, October 25, 2008, Divas For A Cure accompanied by the NJ Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club, Family, Friends & DFAC Supporters presented a check to Bill Alexander of M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center for $35,000.00 at the Harley-Davidson of Ocean County dealership in Lakewood, NJ.
The proceeds from this years' run will be dedicated solely to Breast Cancer Research. This is a small token but a big commitment in the huge struggle for many of us who continue to be plagued with health issues as a result of the fight. Cancer does not discriminate - - but we have made many strives and many of us are still here as a result of the advances and developments of new technology, treatments and medicines developed from research. Countless lives will be saved also as a result of early detection. Elaine Thomas "Hunter" a member of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club, Poconos Chapter said it best, "We want a cure in our lifetime!"
Elaine "Hunter" Thomas (2008 DFAC Diva Rider) and Les "Chase" Thomas (2008 DFAC Chase Vehicle Driver) drove in from the Poconos. Michelle "Queen of Hearts (2008 DFAC Diva Rider) & Anthony "Joker" Hampton flew in from Atlantato celebrate with us. John "Morphius" Tucker and his wife drove in to represent from the Central Virginia Buffalo Soldiers Chapter. Karina Jaramillo-Saa, Manager, Market Outreach at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Milwaukee Corporate Headquarters joined us as well. Thomas "TC" Costley, National President (2008 DFAC RoadCaptain) represented on behalf of the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Club. Nate Gundy, President of the New Jersey Buffalo Soldiers accompanied by 20+ members and associates represented as only real SOLDIERS do.
A special thank you goes out to Asa Murray, owner of the Harley-Davidson of Ocean County dealership for hosting the 2008 Divas For A Cure Check Presentation.
Since the struggle is not over - we have made a commitment to continue a good fight until there is a cure. We hope you will join us in 2009.

 Finding Out I Had
Breast Cancer
"Another Survivor’s Story"
By Miranda Sumblin
I began to ride my 2005 Harley Sporster in May, due to my surgery and I am the secretary of our newly formed motorcycle club “Nice & Nasty” which keeps me pretty busy. Each day is a blessing. I never said, “why me” because God does not make mistakes. I am well on my way to recovery and living life to its fullest. I am happy to share my story with others who also have been stricken with this terrible disease. My prayers go out to all of you. Read More |

The Evolution of the Motorcycle Rider...
A sport made popular by such movies as "Easy Rider, Wild One, and On Any Sunday" depicted motorcycle riders as free spirits and rebels.
Today, the face of motorcycle riders has taken on a new look. What was once a past-time dominated by men has finally evolved. Motorcycle riders have often been stereotyped as daredevils and gangs with criminal elements. Not so, according to most motorcycle enthusiasts.
The new era of riders now includes women from all walks of life, backgrounds and professions. Gone are the days of women only riding behind their male counterpart. Many women not only ride but own their own motorcycles. A vast number of them are choosing to ride Harley-Davidson® motorcycles that are customarily ridden by men, such as Softails, Fat Boys, Road Kings and the like.
So, what kind of women ride motorcycles?
Daring, Intelligent, Vivacious & Assertive
Dynamic, Intrepid, Valiant, & Aggressive
Dominating, Independent, Vibrant & Audacious
Divine, Intellectual, Voluptuous & Attractive
No matter what your definition of a DIVA is -- you will always be able to recognize one when you see her!

The Ride For Kids® is a motorcyclist's fund-raising event that is helping to find the cause and cure of pediatric brain tumors. The Ride For Kids® was started in 1984 by Mike Traynor, a newspaper executive and motorcyclist from Atlanta, GA, who had a friend whose child was stricken with a brain tumor.
After watching the tragic deaths of many children, Mike set out to help find the cause and cure of this childhood killer. He solicited the support of the motorcyclists of America in raising the financial donations needed to pay for research in the nation's leading brain tumor research centers.
The first Ride for Kids® event was in Atlanta in 1984. Then he started one in Chicago in 1989 and finally, after leaving his career behind in 1992 to give full-time attention to the disease, he was able to put the program into motion throughout the USA.
To learn more about Ride for Kids® events across the nation, visit the Ride for Kids® Web site.
