The Ride for Semper Fi

Riding to help those who preserve our freedom

Welcome to the "Ride for Semper Fi" web page. The "Ride for Semper Fi" is a charity bicycle ride that will take place on October 14th through October the 17th. As a team we will ride from Phoenix, Arizona to Camp Pendelton in Oceanside, California where we will present the donations from this event. The objective of our ride is to raise funds and awareness for the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund. The "IMSF" has been successful in granting more than 28 million dollars to Marines and Sailors injured in combat, training, or with life threatening illnesses.

When you pledge your gift you will be giving directly to those Marines who have made the ultimate commitment and sometimes the ultimate sacrafice to preserve our way of life and our freedom.

Thank you in advance for your gift.

John C. Greenway
Chairman of the "Ride For Semper Fi"
