Come ride for Donnie Jarrell with all his friends on a recreational bicycle ride. This event is a fund raising ride to help Donnie, Tonya, and Logan Jarrell in their fight with Lou Gehrig's disease.

An active triathlete and an Ironman® competitor, Donnie Jarrell was diagnosed March, 2003 with the most aggressive form of LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE, which attacks the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. The prognosis is a rapid loss of physical function within a few months, with a life expectancy of less than two years. This is the fight of his life, but if anyone can beat this disease, it's Donnie.

The Rides
There will be two ride routes – One for the more adventurous or those training for the MS Tour and one for the families and kids . There will be a rest stop in Lacombe, and one in Abita Springs. Enjoy the day at Fontainebleau State Park after the ride, with food, beverages, music, and good company. If you don't want to ride and still want to be involved, we would love to have your help as a volunteer during the ride! (e-mail jokers5@bellsouth.net or let us know at the volunteer table on September 5)
