**Signed Bike Builders T-Shirt To Be Auctioned On EBay Charity Auction**

Through this past year, several famous bike builders have signed and dated an Awareness T-Shirt for this auction.

During the first week of December, this shirt will be listed on the E-Bay Charity Auction site. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will go to Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization (please see their website to read about the wonderful work they do.)

The shirt is a size Large and signed by Billy Lane, Dave Perewitz, Paul Yaffee, Kim Suter, Ron Finch, Aaron Greene, Wild Bill, Lee Stamper of Southern Steel and Randy Simpson and Gary Woodford of Milwaukee Iron, who passed away September 27'th.

This shirt can make a great Christmas gift, a terrific framed piece, or can just be worn proudly to support Breast Cancer Awareness.

Please check out the auction and help continue to fight the fight on behalf of our mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, friends, partners, and all others who must walk down this road.

"Together, we can make a difference."

Bikers Against Breast Cancer is devoted to promoting breast cancer awareness. Our hope is that this site will provide information and avenues of support to women currently coping with breast cancer, survivors, and their friends and families.

We welcome your stories which could help another person and give them strength and encouragement. Please e-mail your story and pictures to sheridesthewind1@mail.com.
