2014 Ride for Kids Moves to Cumming-Forsyth Fairgrounds

It's set for June 1.

Atlanta motorcyclists are gearing up for the 2014 Ride for Kids, a fundraiser for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

This year’s event has several exciting new features, including a different venue. The June 1 ride will begin and end at the Cumming-Forsyth County Fairgrounds, according to the press release.

And for the first time, there’s no charge to ride to find a cure for one of the deadliest forms of childhood cancer. It's more than a free ride, according to organizers, who encourage a minimum donation of $40 per motorcycle to give local kids with brain tumors hope for a brighter future.
