3rd Annual Robert Kilner Jr. Memorial
Bike Run
A true
measure of a man is how he is remembered and how he
was loved. Bobby left a legacy behind.
He will
always be remembered for his willingness to give
without receiving and a smile that brightened any
room
and a
personality that enhanced any gathering. Bobby loved
children and was hoping to start a family himself
one day and he made
an effort to give to those who needed most. All of
the proceeds from the event will go to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation of Rhode Island. Please gather to Ride in
his memory so that many children will
continue to
have their wishes granted. Ride, Raffles, Food, Best
Bike Contest and More! Trophies
awarded to top 3 bikes. Even if you don't ride you
can still buy a ticket. Contact
Donna Ferrara at 401-575-8175 for more information.
