CONQUERR RAISES $84,000 FOR CHILDHOOD BRAIN TUMOR RESEARCH
Minnesota motorcyclist wins extraordinary custom bike
The ConqueRR is the most successful Ride for Kids®/Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows giveaway bike in history, raising more than $84,000 for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's medical research and family support programs.
The lucky winner is Steve Solberg of Hopkins, Minn., who read about ConqueRR in Cycle World and purchased his tickets on the Ride for Kids® website last January.
Plans for the next motorcycle giveaway are in the works. See the bike in person at the 2008-09 Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows, which get underway in Phoenix this fall. Click here for show details and ticket information.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the ConqueRR drawing, and to sponsors Cycle World magazine, the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows, the American Honda Motor Co., and Roland Sands Design. With your help, we're that much closer to a cure for childhood brain tumors. Thank you from the kids!
