Bikers ride for babies in Cape

The fourth annual March of Dimes Bikers for Babies Ride in Cape Girardeau raised more than $27,000 Saturday, surpassing its goal of $25,000. More than 300 motorcycles were registered for the ride. Susan Davis, March of Dimes division director and coordinator of the ride, said she was overwhelmed with the support and said that the event grows larger each year. The ride started at River Eagle Distributing and ended with refreshments provided by Mac's Smokehouse, again at River Eagle Distributing. The proceeds fund research and programs to help infants born prematurely.
