Aug 27th, 2005: Ride with the Patriots Niles, MICH
The United States Patriots M/C Michigan Chapter is once again sponsoring a ride to help raise money for Shalynne Trujillo, a girl with autism, who lost her father on March 13, 2001 in a motorcycle accident. The money raised will be used to send Shalynne to a special summer camp. Though Shalynne will forever remain a mystery to all of us, the camp seems to evoke a pleasantness and relaxed demure in her that is rarely seen in a good number of austistic children. We intend to care for her as long as there remains one Brother of The United States Patriots M/C. We, the United States Patriots M/C, would like to thank you should you chose to participate and join in our efforts on this Run for Shalynne. Come Ride with the Patriots. The run will begin and end at the Niles American Legion Hall (1707 Miller Drive - corner of Miller and 17th) in Niles, Michigan. That would be just north of South Bend, Indiana across the state line. We anticipate another great turnout. Sign up 9-11:45am. Ride leaves at 12noon. $10 donation per person to benefit Shalynne Trujillo. Come ride 70 miles of SW Michigan's nicest countryside and smaller lakeshores. Last years run for Shalyne did so much for her. For those of you who may remember, we raised enough money to send her to the special camp she loves so much (twice in one year) as well as special education classes her family would not have been able to afford. It was the Michigan Chapters first sponsored event and they still can't believe how well they did, the support they received, and the volunteers that came on board to work and donate. So once again they're going to try and make Shalynne's year a pleasurable one. For more info contact:
