Female Canadian Motorcyclist Riding Across America
Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser
Dear VTwin Mama,
I am writing to you on behalf of a friend, who is in the planning stages of her second cross continental trip on her Harley. She is known as “Flo” on the lady motorcycle forums I frequent. Her name is Tannis Fuhr. Last year she did it mainly for herself and to get her new motorcycle home from Florida. This turned into not just a trip of a lifetime for her and the opportunity to meet many other riders (mainly female) but also gave her reason to go back and make this trip all over again starting in May of 2009. Her ride was nicknamed the "Conga" and this will be "Women Who Ride (WWR) Conga II".
This year she has decided to make it a fundraiser for breast cancer as well as another fabulous trip. At the present she has approximately a dozen fellow lady and men riders that will be leaving from Pensacola, Florida, heading north towards Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then west to cross the border into Vancouver and in turn home to Vancouver Island. The riders will change as the route progresses as some need to return home and others will pick up where they live and join her in her travels as far as they are able. There are approximately 81 riders total so far who have committed to escorting her across America to her home. There are also some who are not able to ride with her because of location. These are our “spirit riders” who will be watching her progress. Some of us are riding for our mother, brother, sister, or other family members or friends. Some of us are survivors and some have fought and are still fighting it.
Last year she collected some pledges from friends and family for each state that she made it to and donated that to a local charity on Vancouver Island. She would like to try and make this a bigger fundraiser than last year. Her goal is to raise a generous $10,000 donation for BCF. There is a very large following on several lady rider forums including one that is set up strictly for the information regarding this ride on Delphi Forums. A new website has recently been started specifically for all information relating to Conga II. Flo also has a blog that she has started with all information so far in regards to the trip and once she arrives in Florida she will be blogging every day and all the way across the continent.
