Sasha Mullins doing her thing….. Killer tune to support the Love Ride
Awesome sista’ to Garage-Girls Sassy Sasha Mullins Lassiter has just released her new song “Love Ride” which is available to download here.
The LOVE RIDE achieved status as the largest one-day motorcycle event in the world. A place where people come to have a good time, while making a difference in the world we live in.
Impacted by the economic turndown, as were most charities, Love Ride Retro exceeded all attendance and revenue expectations, selling out in 2010. This year, Love Ride is returning to Castaic Lake where ticket sales featuring “Top Country Duo” Montgomery Gentry are expected to more than double.
Benefiting Autism Speaks, in 2011, we’re working in concert to help those less fortunate.
From Sasha
“Okay, friends. I just released an official Love Ride song. Let’s make it the largest fundraiser song in history. This campaign launches next week and continues through 2012. It’s available at all digital music outlets (ITunes, Rhapsody, etc)”
Go grab Sasha’s awesome tune and help support Autism Speaks for 2011!
Cathy’s Help; Taking care of Breast Cancer Patients where they need it most
How many bike runs have you been on to support breast cancer? Probably more than you can remember, right? All of us here at Garage-Girls have participated in many events that raise money and awareness for the cure for breast cancer over the years, and while that has all been good and awesome, we always came down to the same point about it all; you never get to witness the effect and impact it has on an actual person.
There is nothing like being able to personally reach out and help someone, especially when they need it the most. We found a great Husband and wife Team out of Georgia who feel the same way. Jeremy and Nicole Johnson founded Cathy’s Help as a way to memorialize Jeremy’s mother Cathy Johnson, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2005.
The goal is to help woman who are battling breast cancer with their daily bills, home repairs, medication, ect. Things that Jeremy saw his mom need help with. It’s these things that can add stress to the recovery and healing process. Believe it or not worrying about bills, repairs etc. will actually get in the way of recovery.
With Cathy’s help It doesn’t matter if you have insurance or not, if you need help, they will find a way. Cathy’s help operates solely on donations and 100% of the donations raised go into the account, no one’s working for CH benefit.
How it works:
Last year, Cathy’s Help had a woman in need of AC during the sweltering GA heat. Jeremy took the 2500.00 raised and hooked her up with a new unit. In 2011 Jeremy helped another woman named Barbara achieve her goal of making a trip to Sturgis Bike Week. Along with some support from Taber Nash, Jeremy towed Barbara’s bike along with other bikes headed to Sturgis, and they rode some beautiful rides together out in the gorgeous South Dakota landscape.
Cathy’s Help is focused on making those fighting the fight have a little perk in their step, a little something to let them know there are people who care. Anything can be accomplished with the help of others!
Take a moment to visit Cathy’s Help website and purchase a shirt or make a donation. It’s about time we support breast cancer in a way that will directly help those fighting the disease!
