with the closing lap one of
remembrance.
Cancer survivors will ride
a special lap immediately
after the opening lap.
Why ride?
*Everyone is affected by
cancer, sooner or later. One
in three Americans will get
cancer in their lifetimes. One
in eight women will be diag-
nosed with breast cancer.
Survival rates can increase
with more research and
greater awareness of health
issues. Today more than half
of cancer patients survive.
The ride offers a way for a
select group of people --
horse riders -- to make a
difference.

about Vaughn's team and the
event, call 284-7885 or visit

Donations may also be
made at Nellz Towne Pump
and at Plumas Bank in
