BREAKING NEWS…

The Nassau Wings motorcycle group rode to the Boston Amyloid Center from New York City on Saturday, October 15^th to deliver a check for $5300.  The check was from the “Pop’s Run” fund raising benefit for amyloid research held on August 21, 2011 , an annual event the Wings have sponsored since 2001 after AL amyloidosis touched Pop, one of their members.

The benefit included a motorcycle ride on Long Island, games along the way, a raffle (with major donation of time-share week in Sedona given by Muriel and Steve Finkel), lots of food, and music.  Muriel says “The Wings and their fundraiser is one of the highlights of Steve’s and my year.”

 

Eight members of the Wings, including Jaime Cruz, David Feuer, Julie Knadle, John Simonetti, Lynn Simonetti, Laszlo Bunda, Art Klimczak, and Eddie Santiago, visited us, enjoyed lunch, good conversation, a tour of the laboratory with a research update, and a beautiful sunset at the end of the day.  We are so grateful for the steadfast support from this wonderful group of bikers.  They have raised an astounding total of $49,500 for amyloid research.  Their hard work and generosity are making a difference!
