| DIVAS RIDING MOTORCYCLES OVER 6,300 MILES FOR BREAST CANCER Divas For A Cure Breast Cancer Motorcycle Run rolls into Boston ATLANTA, Ga (June 28) - Moving from the back seat of the bike to the front, rolling for a cause, four “divas” will ride their motorcycles into Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, July 25th, driven by a passion with a purpose. The annual motorcycle run is organized by Divas For A Cure (DFAC), a service-based nonprofit organization dedicated to raising cancer awareness through early detection, education, screenings and supporting research for eradicating cancer. Motorcyclists and motorcycle enthusiasts will join the Divas at the Boston Harley-Davidson in Everett, Massachusetts on Friday, July 25th at 6:00 pm when they arrive for their meet and greet event. The ride’s featured “Divas” include DFAC President and Founder of the organization, Jan Emanuel-Costley, DFAC Vice President Aj Coffee, and two riders Cynthia Marcy and Elaine Thomas. “We are proud to have the support of Harley Davidson this year”, said Jan Emanuel Costley. “And with The National Association of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Club serving as our road captain and escorts, we look forward to another successful and safe ride”. The DFAC run will include “Meet and Greet” events at various participating Harley-Davidson dealerships along the route where people will have the opportunity to make donations or register to ride a portion of the route. In its third year, Divas For A Cure raised $50,000 last year for breast cancer research, riding cross country from Los Angeles to Maryland and back. The organization is looking forward to reaching a target of $100,000 from this year’s ride. The DFAC motorcycle run is scheduled to take place from July 16 to Aug. 4 with donations presented to the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center after the completion of the ride. The 6,300 mile ride is scheduled to depart from Atlanta through with a route that will take them through Canada, to Boston then on to the National Bikers Roundup in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, returning to Atlanta on August 4. The DFAC motorcycle run includes stops at various Harley-Davidson dealerships where the “Divas” welcome the community to show their support by making a donation to the cause, registering to ride with the group to the next city or to support their efforts.
