Worthington & Caron is thrilled to announce
that it will again serve as lead sponsor for the
3rd
Annual “The Greatest Escape” Motorcycle Ride for Mesothelioma Research in Los Angeles. “The Greatest Escape” is inspired by actor
and motorcycle enthusiast Steve McQueen, whose vibrant life was cut short by
mesothelioma at the age of 50 on November 7, 1980. The Greatest Escape is
hosted by The Pacific Mesothelioma Center (PMC) at the Pacific Heart, Lung
& Blood Institute (PHLBI), with 100% of proceeds supporting PMC’s
much-needed research for a cure for mesothelioma.
“The Greatest Escape” will take
place on Sunday July 26, 2015. Sign-in and day of event registration begins at
8:30 AM, with the ride taking off at 10 AM from Glendale Harley-Davidson
located at 3717 San Fernando Rd in Glendale. Riders will cruise along scenic
Angeles Crest Highway led by this year’s celebrity grand marshal, actor/model
and motorcycle enthusiast Fabio Lanzoni. The ride will finish at the legendary
mountain-top roadhouse, Newcomb’s Ranch.
Upon arriving at Newcomb’s ranch, riders
can kick back in the shade of the surrounding redwoods, enjoy a barbeque lunch,
quench their thirst with a cold craft beer and be entertained by the rock band Cherry
& the Bulldogs. There will also be raffle prizes and a live auction. K-Earth
101’s Morning Show host, Gary Bryan, will MC the event.
Registration for riders is $40, and $30
for passengers who pre-register by July 25, 2015. Day of event registration is
$45 for riders and $35 for passengers. Participants will receive a
commemorative pin, bandanna, and lunch. Non-riders are also welcome to join for
$25 which covers lunch, entertainment, and parking.
