I am very proud to be a part of this years MUSIC THERAPY RIDE.
Now celebrating it’s 11th Anniversary, MTR has raised over $500,000 as a result of its annual ride from Vancouver to Whistler. In 2012, MTR will rev its engines even louder, and provide a presidential escort to a new location, beautiful Harrison Hot Springs.
In addition to aiding Music Therapists and general Music Therapy programs, the MTR committee has funded a recording studio at BC Children’s Hospital, as well as manufactured a mobile recording studio to service patients bedside in the hospital. The mobile studios, operating under the name “Band Wagon 1”, enable Music Therapists to expand their already vital work by giving clients the ability to record the music created during their therapy sessions. This music will provide a legacy for their family, friends and community.
This years event will be taking place from Fraser Downs Raceway to Harrison Hot Springs BC. The organizers have again done a great job of planning a fantastic event. This years guests include Shannon, Sophie and Nick Tweed Simmons, and musical guests 54-40. I personally am donating a 48" x 48" Giclee print stretched, ready to hang portrait of Gene Simmons.
The original is 48" x 48" acrylic on canvas. The title is "I Love It Loud" Gene has been kind enough to agree to sign the print that will be auctioned.
I am really looking forward to the event and hope that we raise a lot of money for such a great cause!
I will update after the event.
