LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – The Chad Erickson Memorial Thunder Ride for Juvenile Diabetes held its annual ride today to raise funds for families in need of financial assistance.
The ride consisted of six stops and around 170 pre-registered drivers, with expectations of doubling the day of the event.
With the hope of raising around $ 50,000, the funds raised would be distributed to special accounts for the health systems of the Gundersen and Mayo clinics.
Funds will be allocated on a grant application form for assistance and a “major distress” basis for families struggling to pay for doctor visits, pharmacological supplies, insulin pumps, and other needs related to juvenile diabetes.
“It feels good to have everyone back in one place because ultimately we are raising money for children,” says Jen Buchner, general manager at Rod’s Ride On Powersports.
