First Annual Danusia Taber Memorial Ride and Fundraiser

This ride will be to honor Danusia Taber who passed away in May of 2013 of leiomyosarcoma, a rare cancer. It will also be a fund raising ride for the Sarcoma alliance which helped Danusia during her time of need. The Sarcoma Alliance helps cancer patients with what they need NOW such as providing funds for 2nd opinions http://sarcomaalliance.org/donate/donate-now/

Danusia was instrumental in getting GGR off the ground. She was there from the beginning with direction, motivation and helping with partnerships such as CORBA. She was a CORBA board member, an MBU patroller, a mentor and great friend. Before she passed, she approved the Danusia Bell program. These are small bells to place on your bike or pack allerting other trail users you are there. 100% of these profits also go to the Sarcoma Alliance per Danusia. You can purchase your Danusia bells here: http://www.girlzgoneriding.com/ggr_products/ or here: http://corbamtb.com/store/store.shtml .

We will have 3 levels of rides:

• Advanced beginner: starting from MCSP and riding to the damn and back

• Intermediate: starting from Grasslands and riding the short bulldog loop

• Advanced: TBD: Either Grasslands and New Millennium or Bull dog

All riders will meet at the Memorial spot to have a brief revisit of Danusia's life and why we are there for her and the fund raising efforts. I will also be collecting checks and cash to donate to the sarcoma alliance. You can also donate at anytime in Danusia Tabers behalf here: http://sarcomaalliance.org/donate/donate-now/
