Cyclists, Hye Riders, AHS Join 100 km Tribute
Glendale, CA - The Hye Riders Motorcycle Club, Armenian Cycling
Association (ACA), and Armenian Hiking Society (AHS) have joined the
`100 km Tribute' effort initiated by the Armenian Hikers Association.
`We're excited to join this effort,' said Jacques Merdkhanian, further
explaining, `we've done charity rides for the Armenian Bone Marrow
Research Project, and now we get to do what we
love, riding our bikes, to support the Armenian cause.'
Planned for the Thanksgiving weekend, participants will walk or ride
100 km in memory and honor of the 1.5 million who perished during the
Genocide in its centennial year. Walkers' and riders' thoughts,
pains, and participation will serve as the raw material for a
documentary film.
Much like any walk-a-thon, participants will also raise funds through
sponsors. These donations will then be contributed to a project (soon
to be announced) focused on the Genocide and Western (Turkish
occupied) Armenia.
Berdj Kasbarian, Hye Riders' president calmly and firmly accepted the
invitation to join, noting `our club is always willing to help whether
it's by riding all the way to Washington D.C. on the occasion of April
24 or helping the AYF's annual `Cycle Against Denial' bicycle ride.'
A kickoff reception is already scheduled for October 19th
(http://asbarez.com/127350/100-km-tribute-kicks-off/).
