Win "The Good Fight" and help the kids!

Roland Sands Design joined the team from Ride for Kids and Cycle World to build and raffle off a project bike to raise awareness and money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Starting with a 2009 Honda CBR1000RR, Roland Sands created the ultimate streetfighter, aptly named “The Good Fight” to pay homage to the toughest little fighters around—kids battling brain tumors.

Ride for Kids, together with your generosity, gives kids the opportunity to overcome this devastating disease. All proceeds went directly to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's medical research and family support programs.

Before releasing the bike to be auctioned, Roland had to verify the bike performed perfectly. New tires have been mounted!
