Our first bike run, Joe's Memorial Ride was at Devils Lake, ND on
May 3rd 2008 at 9:00 AM. We met at the Spirit Lake Casino at 9 am Saturday
morning. We headed east on Highway 2 towards East Grand Forks and stopped
at VFW Post 3817, 312 Demers Avenue. We rallied up with the Grand Forks
participants at12pm and then took off toward I-29 and headed south toward
Fargo. After we met up with the Fargo participants we headed south on I-29
towards Wahpeton. We got rooms at $45.00 per room. The ride was open
to the public, all motorcylce enthusiasts, and all organizations. The Fargo
Air Museum let us use their parking lot and facilities for the Fargo rally
point. We arrived there at 3pm and left at 4pm. Address is 1609 19th avenue
north, Fargo. More good news...
We are raising money for a billboard that reads PTSD is REAL. If
you know someone that needs help call ???????? From The Museum we continued on to the Wahpeton Armory. We arrived about 5:30 Saturday evening. We stopped along the way to refuel and do other business. We also stopped in Fargo to link up with participants who could only do the run from Fargo to Wahpeton. All of the money raised will go towards a billboard that reads "PTSD and depression is real. Get help now." with a phone number to call at the bottom. This still has to be designed. We don't want anyone else to commit suicide, like Joe did, when they can actually get real help. This group is not only dedicated to Joe's memory but we are dedicated to all the Veterans who need help. If anyone wants to help organize or if you have a suggestion please contact us.
