David "Vegas" Shuman here with “because, bikers matter!” ® Podcast. This week I sit down, at an undisclosed location with the founder of Ride Janie Ride Foundation, Luke Pennings.
The Ride Janie Ride Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2007 to support those affected by cancer. The foundation was started by Luke Pennings and his friends, who wanted to help a lifelong Downers Grove resident, Janie Balwell, who was afflicted with cancer in 2006. Janie needed a stem cell transplant and her insurance company would not cover all of the out-of-pocket expenses. So the group of motorcycle enthusiasts decided to put together a “pop-up ride” to help raise money for Janie.
The first ride in 2007 was a huge success, with 750 riders attending. The group had no idea how many people would show up, and were surprised by the turnout. The ride was coordinated with the help of local law enforcement, and the route was changed so that it passed by Janie’s house. Janie, who had just had her stem cell transplant and could not attend the ride, was able to wave to all the motorcycles as they passed by. This experience was the start of the Ride Janie Ride Foundation, and it changed the purpose of the ride from just raising money to providing emotional support to those battling cancer.
Since then, the foundation has grown and expanded, with more rides and events being held each year. The foundation also has a nomination process, where people can nominate someone they know who is battling cancer and could use the foundation’s help. The website, which was built by Luke Pennings in two weeks, is now hosted on the Member Buzz platform, and allows people to sign up for rides, buy merchandise, and more.
The Ride Janie Ride Family Foundation has been a great support to those affected by cancer, and has helped many people in their fight against the disease. The foundation is a testament to the power of community, and shows that even in difficult times, people can come together to help others in need.
