Victory to support Breathe Easy Ride

Ride raises funds for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
By Motorcycle.Com Staff, Feb. 11, 2009
Many motorcycle industry celebrities and racers will travel in style aboard new Victory Motorcycles as part of Broc Glovers Breathe Easy Ride starting in Temecula, Calif. on March 29, 2009. The ride raises both awareness and funds to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening ailment described as the most lethal of genetic diseases.

When their son, Dayne was diagnosed with CF, Glover and wife Molly turned to their friends in the motorcycle community for support.

Cystic Fibrosis is devastating for so many young lives and families, says Glover, the former AMA Motocross champion, and member of the AMA Hall of Fame. When we received the diagnosis of CF we were devastated but with the support of our family and friends we found our strength. As news spread to our friends and the industry, the idea for a charity ride came together, and last year we launched the Breathe Easy Ride. We were stunned by the support and the money we raised for this important fight especially since this terrible disease receives zero government funding.

Were excited to have Victory motorcycles as part of our event this year, and are looking forward to seeing that long line of motorcycles ride together in support of finding a cure for this disease.

The second annual Breathe Easy Ride will take place March 29 in Temecula, Calif.
The ride will start and finish in Old Town Temecula and will again see hundreds of registered riders, as well as, many of motorcyclings most recognized legends. The separate Cruiser and Sportbike routes follow scenic 100+-mile routes through San Diego and Riverside counties most beautiful back roads. New this year is a limited-entry, dual-sport ride, guided by AMA Hall of Fame off-roader Scot Harden. Pre-registration for the event is available at http://www.breatheeasyride.com/.

All proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundations on-going mission to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis. All street-legal riders are invited to join the ride, meeting motorcycling legends scheduled to appear such as Darryl Atkins, Ron Lechien, David Bailey, Scot Harden, Troy Lee, Mike Bell, Larry Huffman, Jeremy McGrath, Denny Berg, Rick Johnson, Roland Sands, Scott Burnworth, Grant Langston, Marty Tripes, Roger DeCoster, Danny LaPorte, Jeff Ward, Micky Dymond, Eddie Lawson, Brenda Fox, Mark Blackwell and of course Broc and Dayne Glover.
