Families in Need - 2 brothers left w/out parents

Charity Motorcycle Ride June 5th.

Hello,

My name is Keith and i've partnered with the Reckoning MC, the Crown Plaza/Woburn & Scoreboards Sports Bar to host a charity motorcycle ride to benefit Cameron & Tyler- 2 graduating Burlington High School Seniors. Cameron & Tyler lost thier father a few years ago which made life a bit of a struggle for the boys. Not only have they had to cope with the emotional & financial impacts due to the loss of dad but they learned to navigate life with the help of their mom. Unfortunately, mom passed away in January 2016 from advanced cancer at 48 yrs old leaving these 2 teenage boys to fend for themselves all of a sudden. With moms passing they lost thier primary income support, medical insurance, transportation and support of a loving parent to guide them through this changing time in thier lives. Also lost were their dreams of going onto school or to learn a trade. They currently have housing with thier 83yr old grandfather and take care of him while they pool thier income from part-time jobs while finishing school. They are no strangers to hard work and do work but it is just enough to get by. Like all young men finishing High School they have dreams of further education, of learning a trade and making a life. Education is an unaffordable option at this time which is something we hope to change with this Charitable endeavor. These boys deserve a break, so we hope you'll consider a small donation. If you are participating in the ride or the party afterward then please donate as: RIDER $20.00/ea or PASSENGER/GUEST $10.00/ea
