Crazy Train Riders and Corinth EMS Benefit for Children
From the moment we started North Country Rider Magazine we wanted this to be your magazine, not ours. It was always our hope that clubs would start submitting their own articles and pictures covering rides and events that they hosted that we were not able to cover. Here is the first article covering an event written by the club and edited for content by us. We encourage more clubs and organizations to do the same.
On August 22, 2010 the Crazy Train Riders in association with the Corinth Emergency Squad held a car and bike show to benefit 4 children in Corinth to raise funds to assist with their medical needs.
Brooke J. is a 19 month old being treated for eye cancer in NY City. Two other children ages 8 and 15 are being treated for leukemia. Then there is Brooke K. a 16 year old. Brooke is an amazing young lady having been born with no arms and only a partial leg and a smile that never stops. Brooke K. is raising money to procure a handicapped accessible van to make it easier for her dad to transport her.
The turnout wasn't as great due to the heavy rains that morning. However, our thanks go out to the Leathernecks MC for coming out to show their support. Thank you so very much. The Corinth Emergency Squad supplied a spaghetti dinner at the conclusion of the ride which was lead by the one of the Squads ambulances driven by Connie Tubbs. Brooke K. was on hand to hand out trophies for 3 categories: peoples’ choice, most original, and best of show. We had raffles and a great time, thanks to all who helped, and donated to a great cause.
Please check out the pictures of Brooke K. on one of the bikes. Her smile made getting wet that day worth every drop of rain. We had planned on giving her a ride, as she stated that was one thing she hasn't done yet but the weather precluded us from doing that.
If anyone would like to donate to these children, please send a check to the Crazy Train Riders Club, C/O Michelle Ovitt 505 Palmer Avenue, Corinth NY 12822. Please memo the check with “charity ride for kids”. Our thanks go out to all who participated in the event and to those who donated their time to make the event happen.
