| The Event |
The Event On Saturday June 5th, 2010 the Hero's Highway Ride returns to the road in our demonstration of our support for the men and women who serve in the Canadian Forces and their families. The Hero's Highway Ride is FREE to participants; the only requirement is signing a waiver. As we did last year, we will assemble at the 10 Acre Truck Stop located at exit 538 just east of Trenton, Ontario. Our registration table will be available from 8:30 - 11:00 located near the restaurant entrance. We would suggest you come early, avoid the rush and then enjoy the special breakfast offered by Pam and her warm staff at the 10 Acre Truck Stop. A great way to start the day. The ride departs at 11:00 sharp and journey along the Highway of Heroes to Bowmanville. Post ride event will include live music, a 50/50 draw and other prizes. Our Charity While our event is FREE to participate in, we would encourage all that attend to support the WoundedWarriors.ca. Although your donation is completely voluntary we feel that support of this effective and worthwhile charity is important, so please give generously. Our collection jug can be found the registration table in the morning and near the stage at the post ride gathering. Our motto is “Stuff the jug”. Remember, we present the jug to the WoundedWarriors.ca at the end of the day. We also open our event to other military based charities so they to may also benefit from the added exposure that the HHR has to offer. The Grand Marshall In our efforts to improve this event we have extended an invitation to Master Corporal Jody Mitic to be our Grand Marshall. This mans story is one of survival and perseverance. While on patrol in Afghanistan he had the misfortune of tripping a land mine. The explosion left him with serious injuries to his feet and lower legs. Unable to repair the extensive damage, the doctors were forced to amputate both feet. A setback that would leave many of us defeated, but a determined and courageous Master Corporal Jody Mitic overcame these obstacles. After much pain, suffering and extensive rehabilitation, he can walk and ride his motorcycle again! Master Corporal Jody Mitic - You Tube Jody Mitic Rides Again- You Tube |
