Big Nick’s Ride: please support military families and wounded warriors

This weekend, bikers will rally on Cape Cod in memory of Corporal Nicholas G. Xiarhos, USMC, who was killed in battle in Afghanistan on July 23, 2009. Big Nick’s Ride for the Fallen is a 35-mile, police-escorted, motorcycle-only procession from the Barnstable County Sheriffs' Correctional Facility in Bourne to the Flax Pond Recreation Area in South Yarmouth. The ride will pay tribute to those who gave the last full measure of devotion for our freedom. It will also raise awareness of the Nicholas G. Xiarhos Memorial Fund, which supports local military families in need of financial assistance and wounded warriors and their families.

Kickstands up at 11 am, Saturday, July 21. Please support this worthy cause.
