Papaw's Ride - June 26, 2004

The 1st Annual Ride which Benefited the Riley Smith foundation was Saturday, June 26th 2004. The ride started at Gary's Place at 10:00 AM, and traveled to Zachary's, Whit's Inn, Gallagher's, and finished back at Gary's Bar with Live Music, and a Hog roast.

Walk-n-Roll

Be Inspired, Get Involved, Make A Difference, as we Walk-n-Roll Across America to raise funds for research and increase awareness of SMA. There are almost 30 walkathons and races scheduled and the momentum is building! We'd like to have at least one event in every state to achieve our goal of increasing awareness of SMA and raising much needed funds for research to find a cure.
Actors Tea Leoni and David Duchovny are providing that extra boost to help Families of SMA make this one of the largest and most successful SMA fundraisers ever.      For more information click here
