Motorcycle ride raises $12,000 for mammograms
Nancy Borum brought in $12,000 for the Methodist mammography van with her Bikers for Ta-Tas motorcycle ride on July 17.
As database and donor relations coordinator for the Foundation, she could see there were not enough resources for uninsured or under-insured women to get mammograms. The donation will allow the mammography van to provide mammograms to those who can’t afford the screening or who live too far away from Methodist offices.
Borum knows the importance of early detection. Her mother is a breast cancer survivor, and her sister is undergoing treatment for the disease.
The event drew almost 1,000 riders. More than 1,000 people bought T-shirts, including many out-of-state supporters who learned about the event online. One rider came from Pennsylvania to Bartonville, where the 145-mile ride began.
