The annual Memorial Ride was once again a great success in 2023.
Held on August 14th and put on by Tony's Auto Electric and JDS Laundromat, the event raised money for identified needs at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre.
Co-organizer Tony Shewchuk says they were able to raise 22 hundred dollars.
"My niece Jennifer Lueke from Brandon donated a Harley bedspread for a queen-sized bed. And she raised about $900 for that. And she also had a card game. And then people also purchased tickets at my shop."
Shewchuk says around 50 motorcycles took part in this year's ride, which celebrated its sixth anniversary in 2023.
"It was just a matter of getting people together. The first time I did something like that it just turned up that more people wanted to continue it. So I kept it going and changed it to a memorial ride for people that lost loved ones."
The roughly 300 km trip began in Dauphin and made its way through Ebb & Flow, Kinosota, McCreary, and Erickson before returning to the city.
