YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Local bikers revved up their engines Saturday to cruise around Yuma for a great cause.
Onvida Health and the Yuma Harley Owner’s Group (HOG) teamed up for the 16th Annual Breast Cancer Motorcycle Fun Run.
The event’s proceeds benefit the Yuma Cancer Resource Center, with drivers hitting different pit stops around the city.
Through proceeds, the Resource Center offers cancer patients services such as supplemental nutrition, bras and prosthetics, gas certificates, and head coverings.
“The Harley Owner’s Group saved us because we were struggling for the first three years…Nobody knew what we were. It was before the Cancer Center was even built,” said Louise Jacobsen, founder of the Cancer Resource Center.
“I walked through the doors 16 years ago and asked, ‘Hey, you want some money?’ And they’re like ‘Yeah.’ So we’ve been working with them for 16 years, and we’ll continue to do what we do to help out the community,” said Reynold Jerome, Director of the Yuma HOG Chapter.
The event finished at Bobby’s Territorial Harley-Davidson for lunch and raffles.
