In 2008 Doreen Sears had a double mascetomy, and I started the Pink Ladies for Breast Cancer Awareness Women's Motorcycle Riders benefit to raise awareness and raise funds for research.

Doreen could not beat the disease, she passed almost a year later.

Her sister Debbie, a year later developed breast cancer, had double mastectomy, then brain cancer and brain surgery. They have installed radiation pellets in her brain, and she is driving and taking care of business.

This year on October 22, 2011, the Pink Ladies for Breast Cancer Awareness will be mounting our motorcycles. We are ladies that own and ride motorcycles coming from all areas, once a year to form this special group.

When the event is done we send a CD of the event with the money we raise to the Susan Koman for the Cure. Next year we will be raising money for our local area because we have realized how many of our local women are fighting this monster.
