3rd Annual Memorial Ride
Crawford Plains School (4210 - 12 Ave)
Come join us as we remember and honor the memory of our beloved Karter AKA Splash.
We will meet at Crawford Plains school at 9am for a free breakfast and registration which is by donation. Kickstands up and engines on at 11am. We will head from the school to Terwilliger Rec center to light a candle for ones we have lost, from here we will head out for a scenic route stopping in Warburg for fuel and snacks, we will finish our ride/drive at Blackjacks Roadhouse to gather with the family of Karter.
​
5 year old Karter was diagnosed with a DIPG brain tumor.
These tumors are located in the center of the brain stem (on the pons), affecting the nervous system. This cancerous growth cannot be operated on due to the location and is terminal with a 10% survival rate of 2 years. The only treatment available is numerous rounds of radiation to combat the aggressive growth rate of this kind of cancer.
​
THERE IS NO CURE. And trials are very expensive and out of country with little to no funding help to parents.
​
Karter sadly passed away July 23, 2023. In Sept 2023 we did his first Annual Memorial Ride keeping his memory alive, spreading awareness on DIPG, and raising money to become a nonprofit (we are now a registered nonprofit).
​
Our goal is to raise money strictly for childhood brain cancer research and for parents of children diagnosed with cancer to help with the costs of travel and trials.
