MotoZania the motorcycle social network motorcycle social network site is dedicated to helping promote motorcycle charity rides. Today we would like to encourage you to check out Broc Glover’s Breathe Easy Ride Against Cystic Fibrosis.

Broc Glover’s Breathe Easy Ride Against Cystic Fibrosis invites all street-legal motorcycles for a ride in solidarity against cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease that steals the breath of over 70,000 children and young adults around the world.

The Breathe Easy Ride was inaugurated in 2008 by American Motorcycle Association Hall-of-Fame motocross champion, Broc Glover, shortly after his 6-year-old son, Dayne, was diagnosed with the cruel and life-shortening disease. In its first year, the Breathe Easy Ride exceeded all expectations in raising both funds and awareness plus proved, once again, that the motorcycle community is unmatched in its compassion.

The 2009 event will again see hundreds of registered riders, as well as, many of motorcycling’s most recognized legends, start from Old Town Temecula and follow a scenic 100-mile route through San Diego and Riverside counties’ most beautiful roads. New this year is a limited-entry, dual-sport ride, guided by AMA Hall of Fame off-roader Scot Harden.

All proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s on-going mission to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.

Statistics
About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year.
More than 70% of patients are diagnosed by age two.
More than 40% of the CF patient population is age 18 or older.
The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is more than 37 years.

The Broc Glover’s Breathe Easy Ride is the only event of its kind, bringing together the who’s who of the motorcycle world in a show of solidarity against cystic fibrosis.
