Ride for Kid's Sake Facebook page is gone (for now)

Facebook has pulled down the page for Ride forKid's Sake because the individual who has registered or trademarked "The Ride for Kid's" which is a annual motorcycle ride feels that my one time bicycle ride to raise awareness and funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters somehow causes him some type of harm.

I'm really disappointed that a organization with a stated goal of helping children would put a major roadblock in the path of a individual trying to do the same thing.

I'm sorry to throw a "downer" blog post into the mix of what has otherwise been a great adventure but this set back really has me upset.

I appreciate your continued support and please continue to follow the blog and suggest the blog to others.

Thanks Again & Dream BIG,
Jeff

  2. Hi Jeff,

    The guy called me (if you can believe it) and I was taken back by his position. What you are doing is good and don't let people like the one who pulled the facebook plug get you down. Keep riding.
