Cancer entered the lives of Neil and Janice Jones of Hooks, Texas in 2007 when Janice was diagnosed with colon cancer. Together Neil and Janice endured the pain and hardship that cancer brings and neither could imagine what that pain might be like from the parents of a sick child.

So, it was with those children in mind, they decided they would do what they could to fund cancer research.  And together with their motorcycle riding friends, they organized a rally to benefit St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

For 13 years their rally has grown from a $750 contribution in the the first year to over $24,000 in 2013.

The 2014 rally will be held at the Arkansas Convention Center in Texarkana, Arkansas. They're inviting all motorcycle enthusiasts to join in for The Talimena Rally " Cruisin For St. Jude" which is a 3 day rally held Memorial Day weekend, May 22 - 24.

Then, in June, those who participated in the event are given the opportunity to ride to
Memphis to deliver the donation to St. Jude Research Hospital and tour the facility.

All proceeds are given to St. Jude Research Hospital. For more information or to sign up for the Rally, go HERE and be sure to check out their Facebook page.
