Ride Raises Funds for Cancer Research
About the photo: Machinist Todd Boyer, left, is one of many employees who supported the event to raise research funds for Children's Mercy Hospital.
More than 165 bikers, including a number of BNSF employees who rode and volunteered, recently participated in Melissa’s Annual Small Cell Cancer ride. They raised $14,000 for Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. This brings the five-year total to more than $56,365 donated to support small cell cancer research in the name of fellow biker Melissa, who passed away from the disease.
People join together on their motorcycles or in cars to ride for a cure. The event also includes food, music and an auction.
