We are happy to announce that Ride Iowa 2008 raised a little over $22,000 for the March of Dimes!  We had 1,011 registered riders – that is up from 734 registered riders in 2007! 

Thank you to all of the Riders that supported the Ride Iowa Event and the March of Dimes!  This was a great success and it is all because of YOU!  And, because of YOU – more babies that are born premature will have a fighting chance at living through the toughest day of their life – their first!

We would also like to thank our sponsors and supporters for this year:

Farmers Insurance Group
O’Kelly’s Bar & Grill in Baxter, IA
Zylstra Harley Davidson of Ames
The Iowa Speedway 

We would also like to the thank the many local businesses that supported our ride with gifts and donations – a special thank you to Andrew Doria and Midwest Premiere Foods for donating all the meat for dinner at O’Kellys and our local Fareway Stores that donated all the buns!
