Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I’m raising money in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
Hello , my name is Dean Klein and my motorcycle riding partners name is Rick Muchowski ,we have been buds since elementry school, although we have not seen much of each other since grad in 1978. We have always had a passion for riding motorcycles, mostly off road for me.
Although Rick has had many years road experince I just aquired my road licence in 2023. Our passion for riding has brought us back together after 46 years. Earlier this year Rick threw out a challenge asking if I would like to ride to Alaska this summer?
I said 'Hell-yah buddy I am down for that!'
So make a long story short, I was visiting my mom in her care home in February and she is suffering from Alzheimers . Bam!!!! A light bulb moment occured. I said to myself why don't we do some good on our ride to the Arctic Circle as we are going to all the effort and expence anyway . I knew Ricks mom also had suffered from Alzheimers before she passed away. So I sprung the concept on Rick and he said 'Hell-yah lets' do this!' In our moms honor we have named the tour after our moms pet names . My moms is 'Lucy' and Ricks' moms is 'Baba'. Two great ladies that have done plenty for us and everyone else that they came into contact with. Love the caring Mums of this world. The plan is to leave June 10th and return about 20 days later.
It will be a trip of a life time in itself and now we are going to put the cherry on top by raising awarness and funds for the Alzheimesr's Society in our moms pet name's .
As time allows, I will be doing progress updates and travel posts on facebook for the entire trip. Dedicated to Lucy and Baba!
