To the Editor:

On behalf of the Rick Graham Committee, we would sincerely like to thank all of you for your help in making this another successful year. This event would not have been a success without the generous support you all provided.

We would like to thank the following: all volunteers and staff, all who sponsored us and a special thanks to all the police and fire departments that helped escort us from Dorchester to Onset. Thank you to East Bay Grille in Plymouth, Endzone Sports pub in New Bedford, Andre's Skin Care in New Hampshire, Carolee's Comedy and Marc Anthony's in Onset, Brown's Liquor Store in Wareham, Joey Barboza Sanitation in Wareham, Hard Knocks Motorcycle Group in Cambridge, Sullivan Wine & Spirits in Wareham, Big Pro Party Rentals in Wareham, Home Depot in East Wareham and the Dudley L. Brown, Onset VFW Post #2846.

We have had the privilege of partnering with the American Diabetes Association and thanks to your assistance, we were able to raise and donate funds that will benefit the association

In addition to donating to the association, the Rick Graham Committee will also help by supporting families of fallen riders.

We deeply appreciate your willingness to contribute to our efforts in making a difference that helps benefit the American Diabetes Association goal to end diabetes, once and for all.

We look forward to working with you all next year for our 17th Annual Rick Graham Diabetes Memorial Ride on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Sincerely,

The Rick Graham Diabetes Memorial Ride Committee
