ABATE motorcycle group raises funds for worthy cause in unique way Justine Alkema Clinton News Record This summer, two individ- uals were helped by ABATE of Ontario Huron -Perth Chapter through two motor- cycle ride events - one in Clinton and one in Brussels. Recently, funds raised from one of those events were donated by one of those individuals to the Goderich Alexandra Marine General Hospital. The two beneficiaries of the ride were Avery Bonsma from Wingham and Kaitlyn Jeffreys from Scarborough; Jeffreys's dad lives in Huron County and is a part of ABATE. Bonsma is a quadriplegic after being in a car accident one year ago when he lost control of his vehicle and rolled over five times after trying to pass another vehi- cle. Jeffreys is making a full recovery from Non -Hodg- kin's Lymphoma Cancer. The two ride events were in June and August of this year. ABATE of Ontario Inc., which stands for Association of Bikers for Awareness Training & Education, has nine chapters in Ontario. They are a group of motorcy- cle enthusiasts who advo- cate for legislation that is positive for motorcyclists, and they also raise money for local causes. a m 41.44 41 14, kik ih #ri .1.4 :M* Jeffrey's ride was in Clin- ton in June beginning at the Fish and Game Club and ending at the Clinton Legion. Bonsma's was in Brussels. Funds were raised from the event through registra- tion fees. $4,000 was raised for Bonsma of which he gave $200 back to ABATE to help someone else. $1,800 was raised for Jeffreys who recently donated those funds to the Goderich Hos- pital for blanket warmers. Bonsma gave the funds to this cause as during her many injections she received for her treatment, she said she will never forget how cold she was and how nice it felt to have a warm blanket wrapped around her. 1 1 1 1 F`r-Die:P7ki er o1 Male Your Own Rte, w+inC.
