Asheville, NC, September 30, 2015 --(PR.com)-- From the Las Vegas Strip to the Capitol area, more than 700 motorcyclists gathered for children battling brain tumors over the weekend.

As of ride time, the family-friendly Baltimore-Washington and Las Vegas Ride for Kids events had raised $167,459 to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The events honored eight local brain tumor survivors, our Ride for Kids Stars: Bradley, Brandon, Hannah, Kyndel, Olivia, Shelby, Teodora and Tobin.

"I can't thank all of you riders enough for making this a special day for me and my family. Ride for Kids makes us feel like family and I look forward to it every year," Las Vegas Star Hannah said.

The events are still collecting donations online at www.rideforkids.org.
