A ride in support of a Timmins girl raised more than $16,000 over the weekend.
Warriors Hard Rock held a ride for Lydia Allard Aug. 15. It started and ended at J&B Cycle and Marine, featured a drive by Lydia's house, and stops in Cochrane and Iroquois Falls.
The event raised $16,300 for Lydia, who has a rare congenital neuromuscular disorder called nemaline rod myopathy.
"The Warriors would like to thank each and every one of the people that helped make this event such a successful one. We the Timmins Hard Rock chapter would like to thank all members of the Sudbury Nickel City Warriors that made the trip to support, take part and help out with this event as well as all the Sudbury support they were able to bring with them. We would also like to thank our significant others as well as the ones from our Sudbury’s chapter for all they did and all the time they spent to make this event a success. Without their support none of this would have been possible," wrote Jason Fasciano, Warriors Hard Rock secretary, in a thank you on behalf of the club.
"A big thank you to all our sponsors, who without their generosity and willingness to help within our community, we would have never been able to show this family the support that everyone involved contributed in making shown."
Warriors Hard Rock has been in town a couple of years, and this is the second fundraising ride they've held.
