The 4 Corners Tour of 2009, was expected to be Doug Oakley's last hurrah while he still had mobility, but fortunately for Doug, the ALS has not been as aggressive as it is for some, so with modifications to the clutch of his Harley to compensate for the loss of use of his left hand, Doug is embarking on another great adventure.
With family from sea to sea across Canada, Doug has decided he would like to do the C2C4ALS ride to increase awareness of this debilitating disease, and to also help to raise money for the support and care of ALS patients and their families in Canada and the US.
Doug will be starting out from Vancouver, British Columbia on June 29 and ending in Mount Pearl, New Brunswick on July 16.
Events are being planned at motorbike dealerships across the country. By having a central location in each community Doug reaches, groups can come together to offer their encouragement, to learn more about ALS and to join him for portions of the ride.
There is such a strong network of riders, and the support they offer one another is incredible. Doug is the poster boy for a motorbike rider. A professional during the week, and an adventurer on the weekends. The guys and gals who ride relate to Doug as a person and share his fears of the loss of freedom that will come as his ALS progresses.
Please help Doug and support Compassionate Care ALS with your donation.
