This is one of the longest consistent charity rides in the state of illinois for Jeeps. The route is in the shape of a 315 mile cancer ribbon. There will be large sized gold ribbons that will attach easily to various Jeeps throughout the ride with children’s names battling cancer. It will be an honor to join this ride as you are raising awareness to one of the leading causes of death in children. Sadly, 47 children are diagnosed on average every single day in the USA. Which means more than 17,000 children are diagnosed every year in the USA. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in the USA in children, resulting in approx. 1,800 deaths per year. Bike Bald Group supports and provides care, resources, wishes, education support and more to nearly 2,150 children a year. Many families are single parent, mid to low income. As a Jeep Group deeply affiliated and a supporter of Bike Bald Group we are holding this ride to show our support to the children & families of illinois and surrounding states. This ride will include Jeepers from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. You have the option of joining in on the ride at any of our stop locations listed. (please register) Each driver will receive a wristband & map upon registering. Those that register online will be entered into 2 raffles drawn at Poopy’s. (Register online is best!) There will be NO HIGHWAYS TRAVELED! $20.00 donation per Jeep. Each Jeep will represent a child.
