ING DIRECT Ride Now
Ride Now
Autism Speaks' ING DIRECT Ride Now program started in 2003 when a group of dedicated volunteers, each with a personal connection to autism and a love for riding, came together to raise awareness about autism and raise funds for the research initiatives of Cure Autism Now. 6 years later, Cure Autism Now has merged with Autism Speaks and riders from 8 cities across the United States will participate in Ride Now events in 2008, with new events in Detroit, Las Vegas, Seattle & South Florida.

It is a celebration of motorcyles, chrome, and music benefiting Autism Speaks! ING DIRECT Ride Now has welcomed more than 8,000 riders in its history, and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of autism research. In 2007 ING DIRECT Ride Now welcomed over 4,000 riders in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., who combined to raise more than $400,000 in support of Autism Speaks.

Every 20 minutes, a child is diagnosed with autism. Join us at a ride near you to help make a difference in Autism Speaks' fight against autism. We can't wait to have you join us in 2008.
