A sunny but chilly 55 degree day was the forecast for the 5th Annual "Riding for Babies" Motorcycle Run at Pick-Ups. This was the first year Phil and Kim Splant were able to "enjoy the ride" in its entirety. Bundled up including Kim's Mohawk cap (compliments of Greg), Phil lead the group through the country roads of Illinois and Indiana. "Even with a minimal attendance, we had a great time making new friends and meeting new people. Thanks everyone for your support!" said Phil and Kim Splant.
We are especially grateful to all those who participated to help make this annual event such a great success and for all the donations, time and efforts contributed. Events like these are the core to the Foundation's success and give us the opportunity to help local premature children and their families.
