Rumble the Road for Muscular Dystrophy

That Rumble you hear, it isn’t Thunder!

Riders participating in the 3rd Annual Rumble the Road motorcycle rally will be roaring into Morden on Saturday, August 15th to cool their jets and have a bite to eat. The event, in support of the Southern Manitoba Chapter of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, will provide funds and programming to local individuals affected by neuromuscular disorders.

Riders will begin the rally at either the Tim Horton’s Parking lot, 141 Hwy 12 North in Steinbach or at the 1377 Niakwa Rd E Harley Davidson in Winnipeg and make their way south to the BBQ in Morden that will begin at 1 p.m. at Gas Light Harley Davidson. The Winnipeg group will be making one pit-stop at the Carman Fire Hall along the way.

Doug Bergen, whose daughter Kiana was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder as a young child, is very excited to see his riding buddies in Steinbach link their favourite pastime with a cause that is so close to his heart: “Having the community support our family will make this event great – the feeling of freedom and independence that I get on the open road is what I hope Kiana gets to experience for many years to come!”
