About me:
In 2001, a group of concerned friends got together with an idea to raise funds for then 11 year old cancer patient Elise Harrison of Plymouth Township. Being motorcyclists ourselves, we knew of the big hearts that most bikers have, and decided to hold a benefit ride. With the help of Plymouth Township Volunteer Fire Company, Plymouth Township Recreation Park Association, our sponsors, our many volunteers, and entertainment from 40lb Head, Oz, many other area bands and Rock Street Music, we were able to raise over $13,000 for Elise and her Family. Sadly, Elise lost her battle to cancer one year later. Since the event meant so much to Elise and ourselves, we decided to make this an annual event in her memory.
Since those humble beginnings in 2001, Valley With a Heart Benefits has grown each year.
Our poster child for 2008 is Maggie Ravert of Plymouth, PA. Maggie is a beautiful baby girl who will be 6 months old on August 31. Maggie suffers from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. More information about Maggie and HLHS can be found at www.valleywithaheart.com
In addition to our poster children, we have been able to help many other children as well. Some of our other activities have included the donation of toys to area hospitals and giving pre-paid gas cards to the families of children who must travel out of the area for medical treatments.
To date, we have raised well over $100,000 to help seriously ill children and their families within the Wyoming Valley.
Looking forward, our goal is to continue to grow, so that we will be able to help many more children in the Wyoming Valley.
Again, we would like to thank everyone who has helped our cause in the past, and thanks in advance to all who will help us in the future.
Very truly yours,
The Staff of Valley With a Heart Benefits
