From Southeastern MA Motorcyclists Survivor's Fund - Preliminary report on Greg's Ride last Sunday:

TONS of thanks to the more than 150 riders who helped Greg Reynolds "Finish the Ride" an SEMMSF sponsored Event, Sunday, June 28, and the more than 150 friends, family members and supporters who joined the riders at the Lafayette Club. Great Ride, great Pig Roast by Paul Verdatt of Classic Catering, great tunes by Johnny G 3 band, raffle prizes, . . . good time by all. Over $10K was grossed and very much appreciated. Half of the proceeds after expenses will go to helping other downed riders, their families, and to promote motorcycle safety and awareness in hopes of preventing accidents.
