Wknd. ‘Ride Across Maryland’ To Assist Breast Cancer Battle

 Approximately 800 motorcycle enthusiasts are expected to make the trip from Columbia, Md. to the Francis Scott Key Family Resort in West Ocean City this Saturday as part of Dick Gelfman’s 12th annual “Ride Across Maryland.”

Since it’s inception, the annual ride and its accompanying activities have benefited the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization. In 2010, the program donated approximately $300,000 to the Maryland affiliate of the Komen foundation, which brought the total raised in 10 years to more than $2 million.

Over the last few years, the RAM Board of Directors had discussed making statewide grants directly. Beginning its second decade with the 2011 ride, Ride Across Maryland became a grant-making organization, hoping to provide financial support to breast cancer organizations across the state.
