Team Kate Ride to Benefit The Make-A-Wish Foundation

Submitted by Website Editor on Thu, 06/25/2009 - 8:10am.

Team KateTeam Kate is back for its 12^th year. A team of cyclists led by IBEW Local 2222's Steve Smith will ride to raise awareness of Team Kate’s efforts to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts. In years past Team Kate has biked thousands of miles all over the east coast, from Florida to Boston. This years ride will take them through New England to help raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The bike ride is in honor of Kate Smith of Methuen. Kate had her wish to go on a family trip to Disney World fulfilled by the Make-A-Wish Foundation in May 1995 when she was battling Hodgkin’s disease. Steve Smith of Methuen, Uncle of Kate Smith helps to organize the “Team Kate” bike ride to benefit the Foundation as a way to give back to the organization, which helped his niece and her family through a difficult time. This event has proven to have a great track record raising over $200,000 for the Foundation. We expect it will be another outstanding year for 2009!

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts has a simple mission -- to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Your continued support will help us reach our goal of granting over 340 wishes this year.

Team Kate is in need of a place to sleep for one night. If you know of a place in the Lake Winnipesaukee, NH area for Friday, July 17, 2009 it will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Steve Smith @ 978-302-3690 for more info. Thank You & Good Luck Team Kate!
