Ride for the Ribbon

Ride for the Ribbon To help local women with breast cancer who are uninsured to receive the money they need for medical expenses to start or continue treatment.

"Ride For The Ribbon" has a passion to help our local women in Tucson who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and who are battling this diagnosis without medical insurance. We would like each year to help a new local woman receive the funds she needs to obtain the treatment her diagnosis requires. We will continue to hold our annual poker runs the last Sunday of each August to raise money neede

d for each individuals medical expenses. This past August 25th 2013 we held our first annual poker run, it turned out to be quite successful due to the amount of local support in our community. The wonderful woman we helped this year was Sue Barrett, she is fighting breast cancer with out medical insurance, we are pleased to say she will be able to continue her medical treatments due to the funds we received at our event. The money that was brought in the day of our event has gone into a direct business account strictly for ride for the ribbon, the money goes directly to the medical center to pay for medical treatments only. We thank so many people for their support in our endeavor we will continue to pay it forward and also to update our site as to future events coming up, thank you all again please enjoy this years photos.

Good afternoon friends and family, I understand our 2nd annual Ride for the Ribbon poker run is just around the corner... Unfortunately we will have to cancel this years run, Stacy's daddy passed away from cancer the beginning of this year, during this time we also were helping our Sue with any needs medically she had and Sue also received her beautiful wings May 27th its been a difficult year with such hard losses and we also did not receive another person in need of our financial services. We are so sorry that we will miss our 2nd run this year but we feel a little time to recover from both losses is needed. Please keep Ride for the Ribbon close to your heart as we still are and want to keep "OUR SUE'S" beautiful name and legacy alive, as I have stated before Sue had a love and passion for all animals and we want to keep that alive in her name !!! Please stay tuned for some further fun in the near future to memorialize SUE'S legacy :) thank you all for your love and support.

check it out friends!

Ride for the Ribbon Family, This post come with an extremely heavy heart, "OUR SUE" received her BEAUTIFL ANGEL WINGS yesterday (Tuesday) RIDE FOR THE RIBBON was at Sue's side along with her family and others who loved this wonderful woman!! We all have such a broken heart knowing that we won't have the pleasure to spend more time here with her, to hear her laugh or see her beautiful smile. Sue touched so many lives as a matter of fact every life she came into contact with, even all our animals lives :) Sue you are now "FREE TO HIKE AND LOOK FOR YOUR LIZARDS", AND HORSE BACK RIDE, PAIN FREE!! WE WILL MISS YOU DEARLY but also know that you will forever be in our hearts and minds. WE LOVE YOU SUE UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN!!

*UPDATE* Family and friends, I just wanted to take a moment to let all of you know what's been going on with "our Sue". Sue was in an assisted living facility but unfortunately that really didn't work out well, she had a couple major falls the second one landed her in the hospital with some swelling on the brain, she started to recover from that and was released back to Mt. View skilled nursing and was then diagnosed with pneumonia.. she just finished her antibiotics but her body is extremely tired and weak... Ride for the Ribbon has been visiting Sue regularly giving her lots of love and a listening ear whenever she needs it, friends if you would all just remember SUE in your good thoughts and or prayers that would be amazing, her daughter and son are with her daily as we were there this morning visiting Sue, she's an amazing woman!! WE LOVE YOU SUE :)
