Ride TONIGHT in Krum for a very sick girl

Just heard about this by an email and I'll post it below. Basically, a 5 year old girl named Reagan has brain cancer and may not make it to Christmas so the town of Krum is giving her Christmas in July and she would love to have a lot of bikes there. Everything that follows this paragraph is from the email and I've confirmed it is happening tonight. It will be a big thing for Reagan and a big thing in Krum.

Btw, we’ll meet with the Grapevine Group at the Corinth HD dealership, leaving there KSU 1900. My friends and some of my group here in TC are riding out together to Corinth. Don’t know yet about the time and place, though.

I’ll email later, if anyone is interested we can all ride to Corinth together and from there to Krum, arriving as one big group.

I just received this email from a fellow rider in Grapevine. The Colony ALR and the Grapevine ALR will combine forces to ride up there.

Apparently the girl's wish is to have lots of motorcycles there and this is where they're having problems right now. Only very few riders/bikes responded.

There are at least 4 bikes out of our post and another 6 out of Grapevine going. It would be cool if there were more motorcycles to make this girl's day.

Fellow Legion Riders

I received the following request from a friend of mine, Mayor Terri Wilson of Krum, Texas (Krum is located 7 miles northwest of Denton)

Please forward this request out to your riders as an event to ride to on Saturday night. American Legion Post 333 will be having our monthly meeting Saturday morning, followed by a ride Saturday afternoon (destination TBA). Some riders are planning on heading to Krum later in the evening to offer support for this family/event.

· If you would like to meet in Krum, the staging area will be the Krum Elementary Education Center located at 1513 Sequoia Drive, Krum, TX at 7:30pm
· There was a request for motorcycles, however, there will not be a ?parade? since the ride from the staging area to her home is only 3 blocks

· POC from the neighborhood association regarding motorcycles riders is Don Chapman at 940-390-8482

· I will be putting out a calling post message once I have an idea of how many riders we may have participating and additional details as necessary
