2014 Ride For The Breath Of Life
Posted: June 15, 2014 Filed under: Projects Leave a comment »On June 14, 2014, the Kinsmen Club of Brandon hosted the “Ride For The Breath Of Life” Motorcycle and Classic Car Ride.
The Ride for the Breath of Life is an annual national motor sports fundraiser in support of Canadians with cystic fibrosis held in locations across Canada.
This year, Mother Nature was not on our side, but the 14 riders who braved the weather supported a great cause. We thank all the riders, volunteers, and everyone who came by to see what we were all about.
