LifeBanc "Live On. Ride On." Events

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Ask a motorcycle enthusiast what they think of the term “organ donor” and you’ll likely get a heated reaction. For years, this slang term has been thrown at bikers by individuals who don’t understand or appreciate the passion for biking. We are setting out to reclaim the phrase and show the public what an organ donor really is: A HERO.

The "Live On Ride On" campaign was started by LifeLine of Ohio, the LifeBanc counterpart in Columbus, Ohio.  In support of this worthy endeavor, LifeBanc will be at two local motorcycle events in hopes of sharing the need for organ, eye and tissue donors and to promote the "Live On Ride On"  campaign to bikers. 

The two local events are:

Saturday, July 24 – 10:00-1:00pm

Run to Ohio Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall – Clay’s Park in Canal Fulton, OH

and

Sunday, August 1 – 1:00-5:00pm

Fallen Riders Memorial Fund Mystery Poker Run – Quaker Steak & Lube in Valley View, OH
