Northern R.I. motorcycle run on Sunday to benefit MS society

If you see a parade of motorcycles in northern Rhode Island Sunday morning, it may be the 2013 MS Rumble Down the Rhode fundraiser.

The inaugural 55-mile ride benefits the Rhode Island chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Darlene and Bob Rossi, longtime MS volunteers and motorcyle enthusiasts, have organized the run starting and ending at Town Hall Lanes, 1463 Atwood Ave., Johnston. Registration is at 9 a.m. Wheels roll at 11 a.m. They are hoping that 50 to 100 motorcyclists will participate.

All types of motorcycles are welcome to make the run, which will cover parts of Johnston, Scituate, Foster, Glocester, Smithfield and Dayville, Conn. The fee is $25 per rider, $35 for two riders.
