A Rider's Story

  Last year, I attended my first Ride for Sight. I live in Churchill Falls, NL, the Labrador portion of the Province so I had a long ride ahead of me to get to Gander, NL.

My trip started on June 16, I had my daughter drive me approximately 600 km. just to get to pavement. From there I rode through Quebec's north and south shore, through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and on to Newfoundland.

Ride for Sight is held in Gander, NL. every year and by the time I had arrived in Gander I had logged 2440 km. But it was all worth the ride as I am a member of the Northern Stars Motorcycle Club and it was my first time getting together with other members. I think the Ride for Sight is a very worthy cause and will continue to support it.
2007 was Stan’s first year participating in Ride for Sight and earned ‘High Miler’ status, raising $1857!

Ride for Sight Song!

We are proud of who we are
Cause we believe in what we do
We are the soldiers fighting those with RP
To see their dreams come true
We won't leave you in the dark
No for you are the cause, we are the cure
Standing together we'll open that door
And it won't be long before the light shines in, Yeah

Cause we made the spark,
lets make the flame
Lets build this fire, til its victory day
We're gonna find the way, Yeah
We'll ride down every highway
Til the whole world knows our name
We've got a strong cause to believe in
And we're the torch that lights the way
And we wont give up till we find a cure
Til the blind, they have their light
We are what we do...
when we're riding for sight

I can't imagine what it would be like
Not able to see with my eyes
And for the ones who've seen for all of their lives
To know they're going blind
Where days always night
No for you are the heroes,
and in you we believe
Standing together we'll kill this disease
And it won't be long before the light shines in, Yeah
Cause we made the spark,
that made the flame
Lets build the fire, it's victory day
We're gonna find a way, Yeah
We'll ride down every highway
Until the whole world knows our name
We've got a strong cause to believe in
And we're the torch that lights the way
And we won't give up till we find a cure
Til the blind, they have their light
We are what we do..
when we're riding for sight

We're gonna ride, we're riding for sight
We're gonna let in the light,
when we're riding for sight
O-ohh - Yeah
