The events honored young brain tumor survivors and their families. Motorcyclists’ fundraising efforts support the PBTF’s mission to eliminate the challenges of childhood brain tumors.
“Because of funding we have great new surgical tools that help more kids go home. Now we have targeted radiation causing much less damage than in the early days,” said Dr. William Boydston of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
The Atlanta and Virginia events are still collecting donations online at www.rideforkids.org. Fundraisers will receive incentive credit through July 2.
