5th Annual Lynnda Laubach Breast Cancer Awareness Ride
On January 25, 2005, Lynnda Laubach got the news everyone fears: She had cancer. Specifically she had infiltrating ductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer. Lynnda underwent a rigorous treatment regimen that included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Her treatments were finally completed months later, shortly before Thanksgiving 2005. Laubach emerged from the ordeal thankful to be alive and somewhat a changed woman. Her experience also left her with a passion to help other women facing breast cancer.
On Saturday, September 26, 2009, Lynnda will participate in a motorcycle ride that bears her name. The 5th Annual Lynnda Laubach Breast Cancer Awareness Ride will cover a 100-mile course starting at Zylstra Harley-Davidson in Elk River, Minnesota and ending at Rockwoods Grill and Backwater Bar in Otsego. Part of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Regions Hospital Breast Health Center, where Lynnda received her treatment. These funds will assist women experiencing hard times during their breast cancer treatments.
The 2008 ride drew 300 bikes and 400 participants and raised an estimated $55,000. Please join us in making the 2009 ride a big success!
