Larry Jensen, Principal Broker at St. Lawrence Properties, LLC for New York and Connecticut and motorcycle enthusiast participated in the 2009 Dream Ride on Sunday to help raise money for the Special Olympics. Close to 10,000 motorcyclists from 7 different states participated in the ride all meeting up in Farmington, CT for a Lunch Gala.
The mission of Dream Ride 2009 is to raise much-needed funds for the thousands of Special Olympics athletes; the funds generated in each state will remain in that state. As an organization, Special Olympics contributes to the lifelong development of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. For those individuals and their families, Special Olympics has become a symbol of hope. For every athlete involved in Special Olympics, the program provides a lifetime of active participation in sports. To volunteers and supporters, Special Olympics offers an experience that uplifts the spirit and touches the heart — no matter who you are or what you drive.
The Special Olympics program is one of the most innovative and dynamic in the world, involving thousands of people throughout various states in exciting and rewarding competition, training and events. Larry's participation in Dream Ride and support of the Special Olympics mission will allow extraordinary athletes the chance to make their dreams come true.

Great cause indeed. For a reminder of what Special Olympics means to the athletes, I invite you to check out this short video -- ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/3512 -- about the "aha moment" of one athlete and the impact of Special Olympics on her life. I think you'll find it inspirational.
Thanks -- jack@ahamoment.com

A great reason to ride, Larry. These rides are really helpful for a cause, and can really be an emotional experience. We have at least two rides we participate in before year. Amazing how many riders come together to help others. Nothing like it.. you have to experience it to understand it.
Hope it raised a lot of money so special dreams can come true. Thanks for the update.
