To the Editor:

The Rick Graham Memorial Ride Committee would like to thank everyone that participated, supported and volunteered in this year's 12th annual diabetes ride. Your presence makes a difference as we memorialize our fallen riders and help the american diabetes raise money for diabetes awareness.

The Rick Graham Memorial Ride was held on Sunday, September 21. The ride started in Boston and ended with a celebration at the Onset VFW. This was the sixth year that we have brought the Rick Graham Ride to the the Onset community, and once again the support of the Onset and Wareham community was overwhelming.

A special thanks goes to all fire departments from each local town from Boston to Onset who escorted us safely. Great thanks go to our Wareham and Onset sponsors, including the Dudley L. Brown VFW, Post #2846; Onset Cape Verdean Festival Association; Barboza's Sanitation Services; Rob's Party Rental; Meineke; Brown's Package Store; The Shirt Shack; The Liquor Locker; Bouyea' Fassetts Bakery Outlet; and Southcoast Health.

We are looking forward to another successful year next year!

Thank You,

Rick Graham Memorial Ride Committee
