Motorcycle Oriented Charities
Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation®
http://www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/ - The genesis of
the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® (PBTF) dates to the early 1980s, when Mike
and Dianne Traynor
saw the struggle and pain of a colleague whose child was stricken with a brain
tumor. Determined to bring an end to the untimely death of children
from this devastating disease, the Traynors sought to increase funding for basic
laboratory research into pediatric brain cancer.
In 1984, the couple established the Ride for Kids® program to meet the
dual goals of raising money for research and educating the public about
childhood brain tumors. The success and growth of Ride for Kids® inspired
the Traynors to start the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in 1991.
