Via Randy: What a great weekend!! We had another successful Bikin 4 Burns. Abate Region 20 you are the best… year in and year out you all amaze me. Thanks to all the bikes that came out and supported B4B. See you next year.  A special thanks to Perry Fire Department and Genesee Fire Department; Thanks guys for all the help.

This year at Bikin for Burns we were honored to receive a very special heartfelt donation from the family of John Legueux, a loyal, long time B4B attender. As John had passed away recently his family asked that the funeral donation be made to our B4B event.  On top of that, they generously matched the donations themselves. It was our honor and privilege to meet them when they came to B4B to present us with a check. Thank you so much to Tracy and CJ Lanphear.  Thanks for giving a shit!

The Awareness party and ride were also very successful with a great turn out at both. Thank you to everyone that came and helped out. Our bill board is up, new, and shiny. It is located on south bound I75 on the eastside at Pierson Rd. Also, a big shout-out to Mike, Marte and Super Boo for taking a turn in the torcher chamber with me. Thank you so much guys.
