Bikers To 'Pink Your Ride' For Breast Cancer Saturday

LANGHORNE, PA — Harley riders and other motorcycle enthusiasts will be hitting the road for a good cause on Saturday.

The 7th Annual Pink Your Ride for MIA (Motorcyclists Increasing Awareness) is set to begin at 9 a.m. at St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne. The ride is sponsored by the Bucks County chapter of PA HOG (Harley Owners Group) in conjunction with Brian's Harley-Davidson.

The ride benefits the St. Mary Breast Center and the Breast Health Initiative, which provides free mammograms for women without insurance. The police-escorted ride will begin at the front parking lots of the medical center, following brief remarks at 10:30 a.m. by representatives from St. Mary and others.

Joan Ross, chief operating officer at St. Mary, and radiologist Dr. Claire Streibert will accept a check on behalf of the hospital.

More than 200 motorcyclists are expected to ride through Bucks County, ending at Brian's Harley-Davidson in Langhorne. St. Marys is located at 1201 Langhorne-Newtown Rd.

Bikers are encouraged to safely decorate their bikes, and themselves, in pink to increase awareness for the event.

The event was founded by sisters Therese and Jaclyn Bingert in 2012. They came up with the idea for the ride as a memorial for their sister, Mia Bingert Wiecenski, who died from breast cancer in 2007.
