Bikers for Babies - 2008

Well, the rain held off but it was windy and quite chilly! Luckily I was inside the vendor garage at the mission table. :)

This is "Imagine Alley"... these are all of the mission signs from March for Babies intermingled with several "imagine" signs. There were over 6,000 riders who raised over $630,000 to save babies. Amazing!

Getting ready for the opening ceremonies
I ran in to several "babies" I recognized! Allie and Haley, Savanna, Taylor - but Maggie was the only one I happened to have a camera in my hand when I saw her. I also saw Ryan and Amanda volunteering without their "baby" (on her first birthday none the less!) and met several new children and parents who had mission stories. It was so neat to get to talk to so many people!

It was another great Bikers for Babies. I'm already excited for next year!

Bikers for Babies

You may not realize it, but the biggest Bikers for Babies event in the entire country is in your own backyard! That's right, folks. Kansas City has bragging rights on this, for sure.Last year nearly 7,000 motorcycle riders came to the Kansas Speedway to raise more than $7,000 for babies like OURS. This event is absoultely amazing. If you've been - you know what I'm talking about. If you have a minute - please leave a comment with your thoughts on the event!If you haven't been - you are definitely missing out. It is one of the most incredible March of Dimes functions I've ever attended. I don't know what it is about all of those motorcycles... if it is the sights, the noise, the sense of community... this is an AWESOME event.
If you are around next weekend - please join us! Bikers for Babies is next Sunday, September 14th at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, KS. If you are wanting to volunteer, please contact Don Post. There are still many opportunities available - you are needed! If you are wanting to participate, please register on the Bikers for Babies website. Hope to see you there!

Take care,
